Dropbox v2 api. Javascript app installed in Windows Server behind proxy

Hi all,    I have this app which was built in Javascript (Meteor). Basically, the user saves some Word documents in Dropbox, using the DB web interfase. Then, users use the app to pass some data ...

Hi (again), 

I was just watching this reply in an Stack Overflow thread: 

 

def get_my_proxy():
    """ Static method to get proxy
    """
    proxy = '134.245.32.30:80'
    http_proxy = "http://" + proxy
    https_proxy = "https://" + proxy
    ftp_proxy = "ftp://" + proxy

    proxyDict = {
        "http": http_proxy,
        "https": https_proxy,
        "ftp": ftp_proxy
    }
    return proxyDict

import dropbox
access_token = 'myawesomeaccesstoken'
mysesh = dropbox.create_session(1,get_my_proxy())
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(access_token,session=mysesh)

# Test the connection
dbx.users_get_current_account()

I was wondering ... isn't something like this what I am after, *but* in JavaScript, not Python?? 

 

Why is this possible in Python and not in JS? 

 

Many thanks for your help ...

mrivera The API v2 Python and JavaScript SDKs are different code bases and may offer different features like this. I can't offer insight on why one may have something like this implemented and the other doesn't, but I've sent this along as a feature request.
