Dropbox stopped returning Content length in the response headers.

Dropbox stopped returning Content length in the response headers. Any reason as to why? When I call this from C# code, I don't get the response.ContentLength(); https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3lhvatmf7...

@Greg-DB

 

Is there a release note or anything for this feature change? I have notices a few thread in the forum related to this "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" change, and I have been affected by it as well. It would've been nice to get a heads up, if possible, for changes coming down the pipe. If not, a note after changes explaining what was changed would be helpful.

 

Thanks.

rdee Thanks for the feedback. This was not pre-announced as this encoding type is a part of the HTTP spec itself, and is expected to be handled by HTTP clients automatically, but I'll share this with the team.
