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>" \

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
andauthorization
instead of HTTP headersDropbox-API-Arg
andAuthorization
.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, AuthorizationAs you see, Dropbox-API-Arg is already supported, so there is no need to work around the preflight request

Thanks for the report! I'll ask the team to update our CORS implementation to allow this.

Thanks, that would be awesome. Also would be cool to have the url hacking documented a bit more detailed somewhere :)
- Greg-DB7 years agoDropbox StaffNo problem, I'll ask the team to expand the documentation on this as well.
