Downloading Content Document in Salesforce

 

Hi i was trying to download the attachment for content document which is text file.. I used the url https://c.ap1.content.force.com/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/06890000000CZjT

and while downloading, the below content is present in downloaded text file instead of its actual content. I think this occurs if i m not authorized to access the content. But i specified http headers for authorization and Content-disposition. But i could not download the actual file. Any pointers or any other way to download the salesforce content document is really helpful

 

Thanks,

Vamsi.
