/files/download API fails
Hi, I'm using Dropbox API and found /files/download API fails since few days before. The API return following response body, <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" conten...
As Здравко mentioned, please make sure you're encoding header values as documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding
I'm still checking this issue and found that /files/download fails when path include multibyte string, but only ASCII it works.So it's a kind of character encoding problem I think.
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download --header "Authorization: Bearer access_token " --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\":\"/aaa/bbb/sample.jpg\"}"
→ This request works
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download --header "Authorization: Bearer access_token " --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\":\"/aaa/あいうえお/sample.jpg\"}"
→ This request doesn't work. I'm using API from japan so my args path include some japanese(UTF-8) string.
I would appreciate it if the Dropbox team could look into this issue.
Thanks

Hi simotin13,
This for sure wouldn't work. Dropbox doesn't support modern JSON encoding (RFC-8259) with UTF-8 inside! Dropbox supports the old JSON tagging style encoding only - take a look here. Just use some encoding tool instead of encode JSON by hand - jq on the command line for instance.
Hope this gives direction.
