Hi Guys, im trying to upload a file to Dropbox. I have a view that accepts the file and I can access that file through the params. But I can’t seem to create the right http post request to dropbox using HTTPoison… Could you help out a newbie? Am I doing it right? Is there a better way? Much appreciated.

def create(conn, %{"file" => file} = params) do

    url = "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload"
    token = "MYTOKEN"
    header = [
      {"Authorization", "Bearer #{token}"},
      {"Dropbox-API-Arg", "{\"path\": \"/dropboxtest/jeff.png\"}"},
      {"Content-Type: application/octet-stream"}
    ]
    body = File.read(file[:path])
    IO.inspect(HTTPoison.post(url, body, header))

  end

You probably want to match on {:ok, body} or use File.read!/1 instead.
