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...

Update: we have extended the timeline and are planning to keep the current behavior until at least 3/14.

Update: the team has been able to complete some further updates to our infrastructure to be able to support the previous non-chunked behavior going forward indefinitely. That means that we plan to continue returning Content-Length (and not 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked') in the future and will not be reverting this on 3/14. (Regardless, for HTTP compatibility in general, we still recommend you make sure your HTTP clients support both types.) Hope this helps!
