     I can connect to that URL from PBI Desktop just fine per below screenshot.  Maybe you have a network proxy or filtering issue - talk to your network team?  Can you access it in your browser?

    Hi vrossouw,

    I am also able to connect to your web URL using Anonymous authentication in Power BI Desktop. In addition to other post, you can determine if you have a proxy on your network according to the discussion in this similar thread :How do I know what proxy server I'm using?



    Also make sure that you disable antivirus software on your machine.


    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

    I got this message while using formula:    Web.Page(    Web.Contents(   "www.someURL.com"  )     )   .

    Solution was to use this combo, that is, to add "Text.FromBinary" wrapper:
    Web.Page(   Text.FromBinary(    Web.Contents(    "www.someURL.com")      )           )
