I don't know how to get raw requests, because they are generated by the following obj-c code.
+ (CloudHTTPResponse*) sendDownloadRequestWithToken:(NSString*)token path:(NSString*)path offset:(UInt64)offset andLength:(UInt64)length {
NSString *url = @"https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download";
NSString *json = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"path\": \"%@\"}", path];
NSURL *urlWithArgs = [NSURL URLWithString:
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?arg=%@", url, [json stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:urlWithArgs];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Bearer %@", token] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"bytes=%llu-%llu", offset, offset+length-1] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Range"];
return [self sendRequestSynchronously:request];
}
+ (CloudHTTPResponse*) sendRequestSynchronously:(NSURLRequest*)request {
NSLog(@"%@", [request URL]);
NSLog(@"%@", [request HTTPMethod]);
NSLog(@"%@", [request allHTTPHeaderFields]);
dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
__block CloudHTTPResponse *httpResponse = nil;
NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
httpResponse = [[CloudHTTPResponse alloc] initWithHeaderFields:[(NSHTTPURLResponse *)response allHeaderFields]
statusCode:(int)[(NSHTTPURLResponse *)response statusCode]
data:data
andError:error];
dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore);
}];
[task resume];
dispatch_semaphore_wait(semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
NSLog(@"%i", httpResponse.statusCode);
NSLog(@"%@", httpResponse.headerFields);
return httpResponse;
}
As you can see, headers are printed right before sending the request and after receiving the response.
