Hi Zweitze,

When a link does expire the expected result is a 404.  If I remember
correctly, you're getGzipReportDownloadUrl() request was made just a
few seconds prior, so I don't think a normal expiration was the
issue.  I'd recommend retrying the download URL after a few seconds
and see if that works.

Best,
