Download Using HTTP Not HTTPS

Greetings,

I am a developer, for my case i need to download files from Dropbox using http (not it's not https)..

 

google drive and ms both support http and https for the same link/file, but unfortunately when i try to download using http Dropbox redirect to https chancel/link/protocol.

 

for example: following link for Microsoft works fine with http.. it does not redirect to https..

    No, Dropbox does not offer an option for downloading over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
