this is my Swift code:
case .Upload:
var optionsStr = "{\"path\": \"PATH_PLACEHOLDER\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": AUTORENAME_PLACEHOLDER, \"mute\": false,\"strict_conflict\": false}"
optionsStr = optionsStr.replacingOccurrences(of: "PATH_PLACEHOLDER", with: remotePath!)
let autoRename = autoRenameOnServer ? "true" : "false"
optionsStr = optionsStr.replacingOccurrences(of: "AUTORENAME_PLACEHOLDER", with: autoRename)
#if DEBUG
print("header: ", optionsStr, "\n")
#endif
request.setValue(optionsStr, forHTTPHeaderField: "Dropbox-API-Arg")
request.setValue("application/octet-stream", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
And I send it AS other cases (for example LIST)
the above code is for uploading.
As said, it worked a couple of weeks ago and for more than 2 years.
SO the unique reason is Siem Apis is changed OR other inner things, but NO decent details.,
