I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version number of the platform you are using
- a sample of your "ver" variable, if you can share it publicly, or otherwise a redacted version showing the hostname at least
- the full text of the error/stack you get
You can also open an API ticket here if you'd prefer to share privately.
