Ziping 1GB folder and downloading it as client
Hi, I have been experimenting with dropbox api on my PHP project and everything is working fine, until I try download bigger folders (cca 1GB). The downloadZip method from SDK is returning a huge bod...
So I have found a solution.
Example:
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=" . $album->name . '.zip');
$opts = [
'http' => [
'method' => "POST",
'header' => "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN\r\n" .
"Dropbox-API-Arg: ".json_encode([
"path" => $path
])."\r\n",
'body' => ''
]
];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$fp = fopen('https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download_zip', 'r', false, $context);
fpassthru($fp);
exit();Which essentialy streams output of dropbox endpoint directly to a client, without a need to store it to memory.
