Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi, I am using gettemporarylink API to obtain url to the file that can be later played. That url when requested itself, returns wrong Content-Type header for media files. For example audio file with m4a extension now has Content-Type response header set to “application/binary” instead of “audio/mp4” or “audio/mpeg”. Such behaviour has started in the last 24 hours and breaks our entire workflow. No changes were made on our side and it used to work before. Could you please look into this?
@abiluck No, unfortunately I can't make any promises right now. I'll follow up when I have any news on this from the team.
@Greg-DB it is impacting users and I am getting lots of support tickets on this matter. Appreciate if the team could look into this asap.
@abiluck Thanks for the note. This is still open with the team. I'll let you know as soon as we have an update on that.
I'm in the same boat, got clients crawling all over me. They have all sorts of VR content and they stream it for some reason.
@SlashAndBurn Thanks for the note. I'll check in with the team on this.
This should be working again now. Please try again and let us know if you're still seeing any issues.
@abiluck It looks like we never actually returned the specific type for .m4b in particular anyway, but if that's important let me know and I'll ask the team to add that.
It is working now! Thank you for fixing this.
As for m4b, it should have "audio/mp4" content-type
@abiluck Thanks for confirming! I'll ask the team if we can add support for .m4b as well.
Tried to play a mp4 file and it is playing again, nice!
Hi @Greg-DB, would it be possible to fix content-type for m4b format?
