When I access the database endpoint using something like curl, it doesn’t seem to work and I get a corrupted/empty file..what am I doing wrong?

If you are using a library or program like curl to access our database endpoint, make sure that a redirect is enabled. For curl, that will be specifying the “-L” flag.
