[Help] Cannot download file if the file name has spaces

catinlonelywind

when i use download API, it works well if download FileName does not has space.

But return eroor 400 if download FileName has space such as "a b.png",

it says

`Something went wrong. Don't worry, your files are still safe and the Dropboxers have been notified.`

It sounds like you're not properly encoding the value in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' header. Please refer to this page information on doing so: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding

This is strange -- it used to not do this -- it just started for me today. I worked-around the problem by renaming the file to remove spaces or replace them with underscores, and I was able to open PDFs in Edge.
