I've got same issue.

Just one thing: 'H' letter must be upper case in second word:

If fileName = Test Test > works

fileName = Test Hest > doesn't work

The Android library works fine and the direct request using CURL does not. The answer from server is the page with 4xx error.

 

My info:

  1. C++

  2. Custom implementation based on CURL

  3. not implemented in our library

  4. In my case: Van Halen.mp3 - not successful, Alice Cooper.mp3 - successful

  5. Not sure that understand what this mean
