Error (400) with redirect_uri

I have the following api:

 

guest1:8080/DropboxRest/app/dropbox/start: this url initializes everything and goes to dropbox for getting an access token.

 

guest1:8080/DropboxRest/app/dropbox/finish: this is the redirect_uri where dropbox have to redirect. Instead of that, I obtain a 400 error.

 

I've declared this url on Oauth2 Redirect URIs.

 

guest1 is just a hostname that goes to 172.28.128.3

 

What I'm missing?

  • I've just changed the guest1 for localhost and now it's working properly. Thanks anyway!

    Lechucico To clarify, are you getting the 400 on guest1:8080/DropboxRest/app/dropbox/finish, or from Dropbox itself? Please share full Dropbox URL if that's where you're getting the error, as well as the full error message.
