FileMetadata - path display method

Hi, 

 

My question is related to -> https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/Any-way-to-get-mixed-case-path-for-a-file/m-p/158703 

 

I have the following piece of code (using the java sdk v2):

result.getEntries().stream().forEach(m -> {

                if (m instanceof DeletedMetadata) {

                    LOGGER.info("[DBX WEBHOOKS] Deleted: " + m.getPathDisplay());
                    flush(m.getPathDisplay());

                } 

My dbx path is : /Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/File Name.xlsx

 

But when executing the above code, the .getPathDisplay() method returns : 

/Folder1/folder2/folder3/Folder4/File Name.xlsx

 

For some reason, i get a lower case first letter for folder2 and folder3.

My app runs under linux, and because the path is not matching exactly, the next executed operation fails (removing the file).

 

Do you know what could be the reason for this ?

 

thanks, 

-victor
