Not quite the test I was suggesting .... the dropbox url uses https: and
for your own url you used http:
It would be worth getting another url using https: to see if the server
has a problem with the secure http - or whether it is specific to
dropbox; even just https://google.com should do. It would be even
better if you have a zip file somewhere behind a secure url - but I
can't think of one you could try.

Thanks for the suggestion. Based on the test below, there does seem to be a
problem with accessing DropBox.
New script:
put url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/6fpl18ihvt7ffbl/test-image.zip"; into file1
put the length of file1 into L1
put url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/test-image.zip"; into file2
put the length of file2 into L2
put "dropbox " & L1 & "<br>" & "generic " & L2
The result I get here still shows the DropBox file to have a length of 0, yet
the test file downloads as expected when accessed via a browser.
dropbox 0
generic 483575
Any other suggestions?

Scott,
you could try accessing some (any) other https: url to see if that works from
your server.
Might help you narrow down what to look at next :-)
Sorry I can't come up with any better help.

Hi Simon:
Well, I'm glad it works somewhere, but since it's not likely that I'll be using
your LC server, this doesn't help me much.
I wonder if maybe the edition makes a difference. Are you using the Commercial
or Community edition?

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.
What am I missing here? Is this perhaps some kind of cross-domain
limitation? Any way to make this work?
Thanks & Regards,
