Vb.Net can upload a file to dropbox
Can you help me guys? Im trying to upload my first file to dropbox using vb.net. But Still have error: Status-Code:0, Content-type:0 My code below, can you correct me where do I do a mistake? ...
Based on the output you shared, it looks like you're getting a status code of "0". That's not a real HTTP status code, however, so it looks like the HTTPS connection itself may not be succeeding. Is there any reason (e.g., proxy, firewall, security software, etc.) that you wouldn't be able to connect to https://content.dropboxapi.com?
You were right, Thank you.
I spend long hours solving this problem. It was a proxy problem.

Dim response As IRestResponse = RestClient.Execute(request)
If response.IsSuccessful Then
Console.WriteLine("SUCCESS: " & response.StatusDescription)
Else
