network.request problem for dropbox direct link

Hi,

Recently I tried to download a file on dropbox using a direct link (ex: https://www.dropbox.com/s/80bnxlzo8ycsfh6/index.txt?dl=1)..)

But when I do

   http_url = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/80bnxlzo8ycsfh6/index.txt?dl=1"

    network.request( http_url, “GET”, networkLintener )

I was hoping to get the file index.txt, but I get the following:

Jan 12 15:35:50.435: <html>

 

  <head><title>Found</title></head>

 

  <body>

 

    <h1>Found</h1>

 

    <p>The resource was found at <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/uXqA99RxuCxdZBceReYK5nJPpe5tgrJU9XqAZUj4VqRYM6qexW5UQ0LRoG7fOIrQ?dl=1">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/uXqA99RxuCxdZBceReYK5nJPpe5tgrJU9XqAZUj4VqRYM6qexW5UQ0LRoG7fOIrQ?dl=1</a>;

 

you should be redirected automatically.

How can I get the correct file ?

It’s strange that the Simulator is NG, but it’s ok on LG GPro2.

You may  have to look for that, parse the URL out of the response and request that file.   I would expect them to do a 301 Redirect instead of spewing an intermediate HTML page at you.  Any way, iOS and Android (and even within Android versions) will handle redirects a little bit differently.
