Custom connector failed to autheticate "Please specify how to connect"
Hi walid140891 ,
I found this in the document Troubleshooting the Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn:
Every use of the Web connector to get data from an HTML page requires the use of an on-premises data gateway when published to a Cloud service, whether it's Power BI Service for datasets or dataflows, or Power Apps for dataflows. (Currently, Dynamics 365 Customer Insights doesn't support the use of a gateway.)
If you receive a Please specify how to connect error message when attempting to connect to an HTML page using the Web connector, ensure that you have Internet Explorer 10 or later installed on the machine that hosts your on-premises data gateway.
Hope this document could help you

Hello Anonymous ,
Thank you for your reply, I took a look at the link you sent to me, but as mentioned in the code below, what I'm trying to retrieve a document saved in the blob via a web link, so it's not exactly an HTML page, nevertheless I checked the internet explorer and it's installed in my pc. but the issue is not solved yet. I thank you anyway for your response!
