Downloading file though Box API 2.0 giving 200 as response instead of 302 found
With respect to @Miguel-F's comment, I've surfed and found a solution from Ben Nadel's post. I've got 200 as response, this is because ColdFusion followed the redirect to dl.boxcloud.com (since by default, the REDIRECT attribute is TRUE), and the redirected request's response is 200.

Context: Stack Overflow question (score 5, has accepted answer): I'm trying to download a file from Box.com through API using the following code. `` [cfhttp url="https://api.box.com/2.0/files/(FILE_ID)/content/" method="GET" redirect="true" ] [cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Bearer (DEVELOPER_TOKEN)"] [/cfhttp] `` As per documentation it should return 302 Found as response. And redirects to dl.boxcloud.com for download. But I'm getting 200 as response. Not sure why I'm getting 200 as response. I need to download the file through the API call. Did I missed anything?
