[ANN] Dropbox client in public repo

I translated the Dropbox (http://dropbox.com) python client to
Smalltalk.  This is a rough translation but works well enough for my
purposes.  It is available in the public store repository under the
bundle name Dropbox.  Here is the bundle comment:

Client for Dropbox.  Mimics the python SDK provided by Dropbox.

You will need to register an "application" with dropbox.  That will get
you a consumer-key and a consumer-key-secret used by this client.
Please read the dropbox developers docs for details
(https://www.dropbox.com/developers).

Note: I did not try to mimic the exception code from Python so right
now, when things go wrong they may throw odd exceptions.  I plan to deal
with this when it hurts me.

Registering CERTS
----------------------

The python SDK included a trusted-certs.crt file which I have pasted
onto the end of this comment.  While the SSL validation doesn't seem to
be working yet, in principle you'd need to do something like:

pem := 'trusted-certs.crt' asFilename.
bundle := CertificateFileReader new readFrom: pem readStream.
X509Registry trustedCertificates addAll: bundle.

to register these certificates.

Using the client
------------------

Here's a sample script which shows usage of the client (all of the
on:do: stuff reflects that fact that the certs are failing to validate
in VisualWorks):

session := DropboxSession
        consumerKey: 'your-consumer-key'
        consumerSecret: 'your-consumer-key-secret'
        accessType: 'app_folder'
        locale: nil .
[rt := session obtainRequestToken.
url := session buildAuthorizeUrlRequestToken: rt callback: nil.
self halt: 'Authenticate at: ' , url, ' then press proceed.'.
session obtainAccessToken.
client := DropboxClient session: session client: RESTClient new] on:
SSLWarning do: [:ex | ex resume].

"sample request"
[client accountInfo] on: SSLWarning do: [:ex | ex resume]

Hi David,

    I was recently directed to http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2005-August/093575.html.  Do you still have your code available?  If so, can I have it please?  Pant, pant.
