Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: could not decode input as JSON

Good morning, I do this request with Arduino:   client.print(String("POST /2/files/list_folder HTTP/1.1\r\n") +                "Host: api.dropboxapi.com" +                "User-Agent: ESP8266/Ard...

    FOUND!
    I used static IP:

    162.125.5.7 

    to access the server.

     

    Probably Drobbox changed the IP a few days ago.

    Now I switched to 

    api.dropboxapi.com
    and everything works like a charm.
     
    Thank you for the support! :)

The path exists: I looked directly in my account and I access it with no problem using a js web page!

I tried editing the token in my Arduino call, using a random dummy token... And the error is the same: 4xx... not found...

I thought that the error should be different, or not? :|

Here is the request header of the js web page (that works well OK):

POST /2/files/list_folder HTTP/2

And the request:
