HTTPBadRequest when working with deserialized session

[andre-l-github]

using dropbox (current master, latest commit: c752471e7f6d829caba90961d8301aaf78b648c8) with:

Ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) Rails 3.0.6

I get the following error when I use a deserialized session object for listing entries:

HTTP status Net::HTTPBadRequest received: http://api.dropbox.com/0/metadata/sandbox?list=true

My code handling the session initialization, serialization and deserialization looks like this:

  def dropbox_session
    if session[:dropbox_session]

      d_session = Dropbox::Session.deserialize(session[:dropbox_session])
      d_session.authorized! unless d_session.authorized?
      puts d_session.inspect
      d_session

    else

      d_session = Dropbox::Session.new('#########', '###########',
        {:authorizing_user => "###########", :authorizing_password => "#####"})
      d_session.mode = :dropbox
      d_session.authorize!
      session[:dropbox_session] = d_session.serialize
      d_session  

    end
  end

It works fine if I create new session every time I need.

Thanks for your help very much!

Note that the mode is not serialized. So it is defaulting back into sandbox mode, when you are likely trying to query dropbox mode. I agree this is an odd default, however it should help you get past this issue, by reseting the mode after deserialization.

Oh, didn't notice; I can just serialize the mode.

Should be fixed in e044f03b64e34f6d626d8396f2b41ef5483857c3, let me know.
