new sharing links not working on web service old links work fine
i need to call a web service on a DB share link here is the web service call.
the first (old format ) works fine.
the second call using the new format does not work. the links were made from the same folder within seconds of each other.
any work arounds?
thanks for any ideas.
Hi JohnPT,
You have a mistake! In spite not always resulted, passing non-tagged parameter obviously leads to errors of different kind. This hidden bug in your code appears on the second link (there is a predispose, but it's not the reason itself). Probably, you can figure out what's going on and how that activates your bug in such a case (as a 'homework'). 😁
The solution: As I mentioned, just url-encode applied to the passed URL (Dropbox link) before passing as parameter. 😉 That's it.
Hope this helps.
