I want to fetch an excel file from the server but i have a warning message

RNFetchBlob error when sending request : null

this is the code :

const url ='http://manafeth.ncsi.gov.om/admin/download/countries/import/2018/en?portTypes=land,air,sea&size=100000';
    RNFetchBlob
        .config({
            fileCache : true,
        })
        .fetch('GET', url)
        .then((res) => {
            console.log('The file saved to ', res.path())

        }).catch((err)=>{
        console.log('The error is ', err)
    }

)

is your fetch request correct? I think the structure is more like this: `fetch(url, options)` where options is an object, unless if fetch in react native is different? – Abdul Ahmad Dec 06 '18 at 16:52

@duxfox-- Hello bro, i'm using the same code to fetch a pdf file and it worked but with the excel is not working – Aladdin Bederrar Dec 06 '18 at 16:59
I don't think that's possible, the fetch function takes 2 arguments in that specific order; url then options. Paste the code for the PDF so we can compare – Abdul Ahmad Dec 06 '18 at 17:00
@duxfox-- but i use the fetch of RNFetchBlob !! – Aladdin Bederrar Dec 06 '18 at 17:04
oh i see, nvm then – Abdul Ahmad Dec 06 '18 at 17:06
Is that url valid? Copy-pasting it in the browser is not getting any response – Milore Dec 06 '18 at 18:01
@Milore yes i'm !! i getting an excel file when i pasting in the browser – Aladdin Bederrar Dec 06 '18 at 18:12
Have you tried passing it a header object after the url? I mean something like `.fetch('GET', url, { 'Content-Type' : 'octet-stream' }).then(...)` – Milore Dec 06 '18 at 18:19
@Milore the same problem with the header object and without it !!! – Aladdin Bederrar Dec 06 '18 at 18:26
