CORS request

CORS request

So I'm guessing Dropbox has finally decided to shut down serving all CORS links even using the workaround "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com" address-

 

Would it be possible for you to confirm this?

 

And if so, is there any plans to do CORS for the shared links in the future? Throughout this forums there's indications the you're looking into it but nothing more.

 

Thanks.

Hi Greg, thank you for getting back to me. I managed to figure it out and it was my mistake.

 

The problem was that I specified a new file to fetch from Dropbox but I didn't add it to the .manifest file (under NETWORK) and it produced a GET error, which I thought was the result of the CORS support being removed together with the recent change in stopping HTML rendering.

 

Anyway, do you think you could confirm whether Dropbox intends to keep serving CORS requests via dl.dropboxusercontent.com? It would be great to have some clarity for planning purposes! Thanks!

CORS requests should work on dl.dropboxusercontent.com. I just tried it and it is working for me.

Can you share some code that's not working for you?

Thanks for following up Tamas. I'm glad to hear this is working for you now.

I'm not aware of any plans to disable CORS for dl.dropboxusercontent.com.
Need more support?
