    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the report. The servers for dl.dropboxusercontent.com are not currently listening on port 80, meaning that http:// requests won't work. We're looking into whether or not we can re-enable that, but for the sake of security we highly recommend switching to using https:// only.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the Android Core SDK media function, this means passing true as the ssl parameter.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For reference, in the interest of user security, we stopped serving content over http a long time ago, and redirected requests from http to https after that, so it is likely that any clients you're using are already able to handle https links.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Dropbox links only work over SSL</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Dropbox-links-only-work-over-SSL/m-p/134810#M4050</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I made this method for getting a Dropbox link to some media I wanted to stream from Dropbox..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;public String getLinkUrl(String path) throws DropboxException {&lt;BR /&gt;    DropboxAPI&amp;lt;AndroidAuthSession&amp;gt; dropboxAPI = DropboxManager.getInstance().getApi();&lt;BR /&gt;    DropboxAPI.DropboxLink dropboxMediaLink = dropboxAPI.media(path, false);&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;    return dropboxMediaLink.url;&lt;BR /&gt;}&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;This stopped working all of a sudden in the last few days but if I set the ssl flag to true in this line..&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;DropboxAPI.DropboxLink dropboxMediaLink = dropboxAPI.media(path, true);&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;It now works when setting SSL to true.&lt;BR /&gt;It would be good to understand why it no longer works without SSL though&lt;/PRE&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Links using http:// on dl.dropboxusercontent.com should be working again now. For the sake of security though, we still highly&amp;nbsp;recommend using only https:// links.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
