API v2 send HTTP "Range" request not working

API v2 send HTTP "Range" request not working

Hi dropbox,

------------

app permission type: App folder

API version: dropbox API v2

description: HTTP request with "Range" header field not working.

------------

A HTTP request with "Range" header should works like:

Request:

GET /test_320x180.mp4
Range: bytes=1000-

Response:

206 Partial Content
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Length: 64656927
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 1000-64656926/*

But got these:

> POST /2/files/download HTTP/1.1

> Host: content.dropboxapi.com

> User-Agent: curl/7.43.0

> Accept: */*

> Authorization: Bearer h4CFOpR9f5UAAAAAAAAnRbDUUE……

> Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path": "/test.png"}

> Range: bytes=2000-
