Have you tried checking "the result" all over the place? There should be some info in there. Use a "put" statement to output the result into the browser window:

   if the result is not empty then put the result

Also somewhere early in the sequence, set the script to report any other errors. You can do that with:

  set the errorMode to "inline"

Then if there are actual errors happening, they'll show up in the browser too.

If you aren't using a browser to trigger the server script, the output will show up wherever you're calling the script from, like the message box or whatever.

Thanks Jacque.

The frustrating thing is this all of this used to work without any issue.  I 
don’t know if the problem is because of something DropBox changed, a server 
update by my web host (DreamHost), or my update to the 64 bit version of LC 
server.

Simon Smith says he can access the test file from his pre 6.7 version of LC 
server, so the problem would seem to be my host or LC 6.7.  Even then, 
accessing the file works fine on the 6.7 desktop, so I’m at a loss.

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.
