filesListFolderLongpoll() causes CORS preflight error

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/longpoll.
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 501.

Tested on macOS Chrome (54.0.2840.71 (64-bit)), Safari (10.0.1 (11602.2.14.0.7)) & Firefox (49.0.2).

This seems unrelated to #42 (or associated issues) because domain is notify.dropboxapi.com not api.dropboxapi.com.

Can also be reproduced with following XHR request:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/longpoll");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({cursor: "AAG9UMjHQxjlfNX_rOPsVO0W27HIkPlD-xBu0rETcMhuWsprxpgE-94NVr29SIgJfGlFokxPbJSuTG6ryGD01d_amqnijqi0fcXp2cdkYeq63krcuD9jKVeU4kbBNSLfXzswS-NXCJJF1IA_AUeL_h4ZKFyuJIuVRQNodUu8EOo0Vw"}));
// I assume you'll need to provide a cursor value that matches your own account

It seems it is the Content-Type “application/json” header that is triggering the CORS prefilght. The suggested Content-Type “text/plain;charset=dropbox-cors-hack” hack doesn’t work as all 3 browsers I tested rewrite to “text/plain” which result in a 400 Bad request.

This should be working now. Please let us know if you’re still seeing any issues.
