CORS Problem with Namespace and Dropbox-API-Path-Root header

Trying to list team root folders using this request from the namespace guide: curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \ --header "Cont...

    So i found that this works:

    curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder?path_root={".tag": "root", "root":"<namespace_id>"} \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"path":""}'

     I didn't find this specific implementation documented anywhere, but rather derived from section Browser-based JavaScript and CORS pre-flight requests from the documentation:

    Use URL parameters arg and authorization instead of HTTP headers Dropbox-API-Argand Authorization.

     

    I think it would still be cool, if Dropbox-API-Path-Root would be added to allowed headers. Currently this is the response i get:

    Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, Accept-Language, Content-Language, Cache-Control,
    Dropbox-API-Select-User, Accept, Range, Referer, Dropbox-API-Arg, If-Modified-Since,
    If-None-Match, Content-Type, Dropbox-API-User-Locale, Authorization

    As you see, Dropbox-API-Arg is already supported, so there is no need to work around the preflight request

    These headers have been added, so this should work now. Hope this helps!
