Adding more infos:

• I'm using firebase storage and when I check the pdf file is uploaded.
• I found this issue when using firebase for fileStrategy, disabling the flag fileStrategy: "firebase" return 200 from rag_api, but it means my file is hosted in public CDN.

Even with this rules:

service firebase.storage {
  match /b/{bucket}/o {
    match /{allPaths=**} {
      allow read, write
    }
  }
}

It is still error, but the file is uploaded on Firebase Storage.
