Error in call to API function "sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "application/json{\"path\":\"\\/1uawro.jpg\",\"settings\":{\"requested_visibility\":\"public\",\"audience\":\"public\",\"access\":\"viewer\"}}". Expecting one of "application/json", "application/json; charset=utf-8", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".

$share_link_url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings";

Hi eranga119,

Why are you passing the body part (in your post: $share_link) in header part? The particular error message denote the sticking the body to the "Content-Type" header, which is NOT correct of course. 😉

Hope this helps.
