LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?

Hi List:

I¹m wondering if anyone has been using LC Server to serve files from
DropBox.  Since updating LC Server to 6.7 on my host (DreamHost), it now
seems to be unable to retrieve files from DropBox.

With the following script:

put url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/6fpl18ihvt7ffbl/test-image.zip" into
theFile	
	put the length of theFile


On a desktop system, this works as expected in the message box.

On LC Server I get a value of 0.

What am I missing here?  Is this perhaps some kind of cross-domain
limitation?  Any way to make this work?

Thanks & Regards,
