I am having a bit of trouble parsing what you wrote,
Ok, the exact use is the mirroring of vm directories on an esxi server over to a centos storage server.
The vm's folder url is: https://10.0.0.61/folder/vm-name?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=Datastore_2 for example.
When it begins mirroring it, it see's urls like this: https://10.0.0.61/folder/vm-name/Disc-1-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&d... so the resulting file downloaded is not Disc-1-flat.vmdk, but: Disc-1-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ha-datacenter&dsName=Datastore_2 Thanks! jlc
