Import Email shared file by api.

Hi Gregory,

Sorry, I should have explained this better.

I've shared a file with myself (using a different email account) by clicking on the "Share"

button, and filling in my email address.  The automatic email then sent by Dropbox is here:

http://pastebin.com/3VarM5n0

What I'm trying to do is go from that email (rather than a user-created email with a shared

link pasted in manually, which works fine, but requires an extra step on the part of the user) to a download link.

The "View file" URL ( https://www.dropbox.com/l/scl/w9txMqmTNk4RBqzjpmWuZj?text=3D1 ) embedded in the email above does not work with the get_shared_link_metadata API, whether

or not I remove the "text=3D1" or add "&dl=1" from/to the query.

So the step I'm missing is how to go from that URL to one that *will* work with the API.

I can of course click on the link manually and get the download page etc.; the point is

to be able to do this from a scripted email client.  I put some effort into parsing

the web page that the emailed link leads to, and tracing the javascript to see if/where

a API-usable link is being generated, but I failed.

Thanks,

John
