    Was there any issue to just follow what was mentioned in the earlier reply?
    Isn't url forming incorrect by just looking at it?

    http://( '${#TestCase#TEST URL}' ) -> change it to ${#TestCase#TEST URL}

Use property expansion for url of the HTTP Request.
That means, the value for the URL has to be assigned in the previous test step
Say use a test case level custom property FILE_DOWNLOAD_URL and assign the value for before executing HTTP Request.
In the URL for HTTP Request, assign value "${#TestCase#FILE_DOWNLOAD_URL}"

Here is the documentation for Property expansion
