Dropbox binary file download...

[Sinusoidal]

Hi, been trying out the dropbox nodes and generally I think they're exactly what we're looking for in a current project. However, I'm trying to download a firmware file that we have put in the app dropbox and the file has the incorrect size. It's a .bin file, and we would expect the response header to be content-type: application/octet-stream. It is text/html. When we (i'm sure rather naively) try to change content-type to application/octet-stream in the response, this seems to work but there is a ";charset: utf-8" appended to the content-type. And it still doesn't work to download the file, which is still of the incorrect size.

How can we set the right content-type for our binary file? If we can't, perhaps the aws bucket node might offer the download options we need?

Thanks

Solved it using the watch node and an http request node instead. Probably better in the long run, but still curious as to why my application/octet-stream had ;charset: utf-8 appended. Also curious as to where I should be looking for answers on this...

You're in the right place.. 

We will try to have a look at the Dropbox node. I guess it didn't get the same love as the http one as far as binary downloads go.

Hi - I have pushed a fix to npm - now version 0.1.2
It should now try to detect binary files and returns them as a binary buffer object.
