Unfortunately I can't provide support for that side of the operation, since it's not related to the Dropbox API.

 

I do notice you reversed "application/octet-stream" as "stream-octet" in your code though.

Thank you Greg,

The reversed "application/octet-stream" was typo and it wasn't an issue. I found a solution. Thank you for your help!
