download file without going through the server

I'm building a web app and I need to be able to download files from dropbox but I can't found a way to do it without passing the file on my server, is there a endpoint or method to get a direct link "with no preview page" to download files? 

I'm using the http endpoints to create ajax calls and the Java SDK 

Thanks in advance
