Dropbox API v2 for Second Life

Update (01/14/2019): Finally back to trying to use this code. A resolution was seemingly made, but not fully implemented. I am able to access the API now, but I still cannot use file/download. I have...

Dropbox API v2 does expect the Content-Type to match the type of the content in the body, and in the case of content-download endpoints, this should accordingly be missing or empty, as there is no content in the body.

 

Are you perhaps able to explicitly specify the empty string "" using "HTTP_MIMETYPE" as mentioned in the documentation you linked to?

It cannot accept an empty string sadly. I can attempt to get them to add that functionality, but I do not know how long that will take. I would still like to pursue both options, since either solution, accepting an empty string or ignoring the MIME type when it is expected to be empty.

    This is the exact error returned when I try it:

     

    [06:06:37 PM]  AoW:Reloaded HUD (v0.0.6a) - v2 API Example: Unsupported or unknown Content-Type.

      Thanks for trying that out. I can't make any promises, but I'll send this along to the team as a request to allow this on our side.

        Alright. Thank you so much for working with me. Hopefully it is all handled before v1 goes away.
