Dropbox v2 API Content-Type header

[iambvttercvp]

For confirmation:

Is it allowed to use Content-Type header other than "application/octet-stream" and "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack" when uploading file using Dropbox v2 API (https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload)?

I have tried using other Content-Type value (example: multipart_form_data) but an error is always returned.

Error in call to API function "files/upload": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "text/plain; charse=dropbox-cors-hack". Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".

No, the API only accepts the Content-Type values mentioned as expected in the error message.

Does Dropbox v2 have any specification regarding this?

What information exactly are you looking for? You can find the documentation for the HTTP interface here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation

The specification for the API can be found here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-api-spec

Specification regarding the Content-Type value for uploading files using Dropbox v2 API.

That only these Content-Type values can be used.

"application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack"

I don't believe that's called out specifically in the documentation, but that information from the error message is correct. (It's also shown in the curl examples.)
