Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi guys,
I'm playing around with the dropbox v2 api and found a problem which I'm fear might be a bug:
Whenever I call "get_temporary_link" related to a file with a special character ( like German Umlaut รค ) in it's name, the api returns a temporary link that results in an error 500.
All other files without those special characters work fine.
German Umlaut in the path (as long as they are not part of the filename) are also causing no problems.
Any idea?
Further tests: tried various de/encodings of the path, all resulted in no temporary_link returned. So I guess the path I provide is correct, Dropbox finds something in the database, but something is wrong with the temporary_link / response.
best regards, Martin
