Re: URL Unauthorized access error while accessing files from dropbox?

My guess would be that the library you're using makes request with OAuth 1 with an HMAC signature, and the signing code has a bug relating to URL encoding. Does the error happen for all files that have parentheses in it?

Can you tell us what library you're using? (Ideally, give us a link to it.)
