Parallel file upload fails
My app uses core api v1. When I try to upload 10+ files into my dropbox account, a few of them randomly fails with response:
[..] <head><title>Dropbox - 403</title>
<link href="//www.dropbox.com/...
My bad, the 403 response was not for these requests. However some files are still missing. It can be reproduced with this:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 10 19`;
do
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <my token>" https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/auto/ -T file$i &
done;
Now I can see that the response for the missing files is:
{"error": "Failed to grab locks for 532934897: lock held by connection 4695316.Please re-issue the request."}
Is there a queue I can use on your side for file upload? Else I guess I have to check the response and retry if necessary. Thanks!
