    We just released the fix for the issue on Safari with "raw=1" links. Please let us know if you still have any issues.

My previous message was falsely reported as spam.

 

Again with fewer links to hopefully not get flagged false positive again.

 

I experienced this bug in the wild in this WordPress forum thread that I started:

 

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-attribute-shall-have-value-at-certain-breakpoint-but-unset-on-lower/

 

1) In my initial post on top

 

dropbox.com /scl/fi/<identifier>/<filepath1>?rlkey=XXX

 

 

2) a+b) In my second post I used 2 links with this pattern

 

dl.dropboxusercontent.com /scl/fi/<identifier>/<filepath2>?rlkey=YYY

 

 

Chrome + Firefox: Load all 3 links fine.

 

Safari: All links work fine when clicked. But in addition I also had the videos embedded inline as IMG elements, which Safari allows. It treats them like animated GIFs (autoplays, looped, muted). This worked fine yesterday. But not when I revisited the page.

 

Interestingly a hard reload helped. Maybe your browser caching busting/policies are not set up correctly? (Especially in conjunction with redirects, something probably messes up Safari). Although theoretically link pattern 2ab should not use any HTTP redirects, so should serve with HTTP 200 according to your documentation.

That did work, I just changed the link and added the dl.dropbox.com up front and Safari now loads fine, dl.dropboxusercontent.com work fine too. Fortunately I only had to modified a hand full of new links and all the legacy links still work. Thanks!
