Hi List:

I¹m wondering if anyone has been using LC Server to serve files from
DropBox.  Since updating LC Server to 6.7 on my host (DreamHost), it now
seems to be unable to retrieve files from DropBox.

With the following script:

put url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/6fpl18ihvt7ffbl/test-image.zip"; into
theFile 
        put the length of theFile


On a desktop system, this works as expected in the message box.

On LC Server I get a value of 0.

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had a similar issue with AirLaunch when Dropbox eliminated their old-style default Public folder. AirLaunch could no longer retrieve files using the new method where you can share a link from anywhere in DB. But it could still do it if the file was in my grandfathered Public folder.

DB allows you to create an old-style Public folder if you don't already have one but they hide the information pretty well on their site. If you think this may be related to your problem and you don't yet have a Public folder, I can try to find the link for you. Once my customers created a Public folder and put the files in there, AirLaunch started working again.
