The path/restricted_content error is expected from /2/files/download for files with restricted content, per the documentation:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download
If you believe you have files that have been incorrectly flagged, please contact support.

I can not create a shared link to this file, ab.rar.
This is an empty RAR file, created by WinRAR.
Type `od -x ab.rar`
Output:
