Dropbox Community Moderator1. I'm not sure I follow. Exactly what functions are called and when is controlled by your app. You may want to step through with a debugger to see what it is doing and how to correct it.
2. You don't have to upload the same amount of data with each call. For example, when you only have less than 1 MB left to upload, you can call finish and upload that less than 1 MB amount of data.
When using upload sessions, you should only call start once per file. Then you can call append as many times as necessary. You should then call finish once. You don't have to send the same amount of data in each call (e.g., the last call will usually contain less than the others) but you do need to upload the file data in order.
If you're not getting valid files, you should debug your implementation to make sure you're sending up all of the correct data, and in order. (From your earlier post, it sounds like you're missing the last piece.)
Hi,
Thank you for your response. I was able to find the reason for the behavior I had been thinking as unexpected.
But while debugging I'm facing issue with curl call. Many timess the curl call fails with the error "Curl Error Start: Empty reply from server (Server returned nothing no headers no data)". Sometimes upload session start returns this error and sometimes append. I'm not able to understand why this is happening.
Can you please tell me why?
