Webhooks Verification Headers Missing

Dropbox documentation states two headers are sent with the verification request.

 

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks

 

Content-Type

X-Content-Type-Options

 

I did not get either header.  I did get a user agent of DropboxWebhooks/1.0 with the proper challenge option, but no headers.  I think your documentation is wrong, outdated, or you have a bug.

  • Apologies for the confusion. That section in the documentation is indicating that you should set those headers in your response to the verification request; not that they are set in the request itself.
