Thanks for sharing this. I tried out this code though, and it worked successfully for me. Can you confirm if this was the exact code that produced the error you saw? For instance, did you change any of the parameter values after you reproduced the issue before you posted this? If so, please share the actual parameter values you used to reproduce the issue, except for the refresh token.

 

Also, have you made any changes to the Dropbox SDK's code?

Thank you for testing, Greg-DB .

 

I also tried it again on my side. Strangely, it now works successfully.

Even the code that was not working since 7/11 is now able to download files successfully.

I have not changed the code or parameters.

 

Could there have been a change on the server side?

 

Well, I'm glad it's working now, but I still find it quite puzzling why this happened in the first place.

 

Thank you.

    A server update caused unencoded header values to be rejected. We’ve updated the server to accept these requests again so this should be working now.

     

    However, the .NET SDK should have automatically handled this for you anyway, so we would still want to check on that. If possible, please share the answers to the questions in my previous message so we can look into that and check if there are any related bugs in the .NET SDK.

     

    For reference, by "parameter values", I mean both the user agent you put as "application_product_name" and the path you put as "/Test.txt".

     

    Thanks!
