That error message indicates that the Dropbox API couldn't parse the contents of the request body as JSON to read the parameters. Sending an empty request body is one way to cause that.

Can you elaborate on the environment you're using to run this on your server? If you can share the steps to reproduce the issue, I'll be happy to take a look.

    Never mind. It turns out it was a "necessary" and old script linked which was modifying ajax requests, not made by me. Horrible.
