The /upload behavior has been changed ?

Recently,  we received many feedbacks from our product users that the filename (use /upload) has become garbled. We found the "path" decode behavior might be changed by dropbox server.

For Example: (the current behavior)

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
--header "Authorization: Bearer access_token" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/RICE/我的檔案\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": false,\"mute\": false}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary test.pdf

{"name": "\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "path_lower": "/rice/\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "path_display": "/RICE/\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "parent_shared_folder_id": "4082639392", "id": "id:Io0h0kFRW8sAAAAAANBUdA", "client_modified": "2019-10-09T08:32:39Z", "server_modified": "2019-10-09T08:32:39Z", "rev": "5947620b4879df3582220", "size": 38908, "sharing_info": {"read_only": false, "parent_shared_folder_id": "4082639392", "modified_by": "dbid:AADoF7JHXmoPd6Rx2X-1h0qzHUgXhnQfiH0"}, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "cae9af2c924e769d376ed2143b0e8b0195b689764ac01be0ecc8e72b9a1feeb1"}

the decoded response "name" will be : æˆ‘的檔案

but in the past, the response "name" should be: \u6211\u7684\u6a94\u6848

which is the encoded string of "我的檔案"

    There was a change on our server stack that affected how we handled HTTP headers without proper encoding. That resulted in malformed file paths/names. We've reverted that change, so that should be working again, but please make sure your headers get encoded properly.

    Dear @wen_hsiao, 

    It's not working. Please read carefully my explanation on the previous post. The second time file upload is successful because it's uploading to the wrong named folder. That is also why you have the download after of the wrong file, because Cloud Sync detects a new folder and file on the Dropbox cloud.

    I already opened the ticket in Synology support, it's ticket number #2380080 from October 7 if you want to check it out. But it has been poorly developped by the support staff.

    wen_hsiao Thanks for the note.

    MReizinho If you're still seeing any broken functionality, please let the third party app developer know so that they can contact us with the relevant technical details so we can investigate.
