Integration with DB reports, step 1

Integration with DB reports, step 1

Hi,

I have followed the instructions in

http://blogs.zoho.com/general/zoho-db-reports-integration-with-zoho-creator-step-1/

to get reports from the DB Reports, but it doesn't work.

If, as instructed, I remove the "s" from "https", I immediately get the error message "Data is empty. Provide data to import".

If I don't, after a while, I get the error message " Communication failure while reading the URL contents. Please verify whether the server (host machine) containing the URL is connectable. "

Very strange since when I paste the CSV link into my browser address bar, I get the data all right ! So this is telling me that the link is fine, and that something is amiss with the DB Report CSV web import module -- at least for me.

Kindly advise.
thanks,
Charles
