Problem: I have use the net/http code for uploading the '.doc', '.docx', '.pdf' and images files on dropbox. But I getting the issues like:

1.invalid byte sequence in UTF 8 2. Now while the file is uploading but it not uploading the content and even it uploading as a corrupt file.

Below I writing my code to upload the file on dropbox. Please help me.

Code:

uri = URI.parse("https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload&quot;\)           request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)           request.content_type = "application/octet-stream"           request["Authorization"] = "Bearer #{$acess_token}"           request["Dropbox-Api-Arg"] = "{\"path\":\"/Sass-for-Web-Designers.pdf\"}"           request.body = ""           request.body << File.open("app/assets/images/categoryImages/Sass-for-Web-Designers.pdf").read

This line is opening the file as a UTF-8 string, which it most likely is not. Read up on File.open, particularly the various flags you can pass to it to ensure that the file is being opened as a binary, not a text file.

Yes it was the issue of text. file is reading the doc as text not binary. Thanks for your help
