Getting 400 HTTP error for /list_folder/longpoll
The request for longpoll used to be working fine, but a couple of days ago I started getting 400 HTTP error with the following message:
"Error in call to API function "files/list_folder/longpoll": ...
Hi Gregory, thanks for your reply
You're correct, I'm passing an unmodified cursor from files/list_folder to files/list_folder/longpoll. The problem is reproducible in API Explorer as well. Here's an example:
Request to list_folder:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer -----access_token----' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"path":"}'
Response:
{ "entries": [ { ".tag": "file", "name": "firmware.bin", "path_lower": "/firmware.bin", "id": "id:nyCg-bFo0NAAAAAAAAAAAg", "client_modified": "2016-01-17T07:02:55Z", "server_modified": "2016-01-17T07:02:55Z", "rev": "143532a63", "size": 0 } ], "cursor": "1AAGLifVjyh-QzyQXWvWXfiDd1I6IWtxN0-mGryosrvCTqmwW6GMaF1F76R-vzk1UcTDJe6Pb4taPG6HPh0s8EUizyPkhXyb3pUZIUVAaua2aArHzt2mH4bsyrR_e3CGID0I", "has_more": false }
Request to /list_folder/longpoll:
curl -X POST https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/longpoll \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"cursor":"1AAGLifVjyh-QzyQXWvWXfiDd1I6IWtxN0-mGryosrvCTqmwW6GMaF1F76R-vzk1UcTDJe6Pb4taPG6HPh0s8EUizyPkhXyb3pUZIUVAaua2aArHzt2mH4bsyrR_e3CGID0I"}'
Response:
Error: 400
Error in call to API function "files/list_folder/longpoll": request body: cursor: unsupported cursor type
As you can see, the cursor wasn't modified between calls, but we're still getting an error in response.
Regards, Nik
