Problem to solve

Describe your question in as much detail as possible:
The following call works and gives the json I expect
curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:<token>" "https://url/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/secure_files/25/"

But the below call when trying to download fails with 500 error. No idea what is wrong
curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:<token>" "https://url/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/secure_files/25/download"
Error:

{&quot;message&quot;:&quot;500 Internal Server Error&quot;}
