dropbox uploader was not working

For the past 4 days the dropbox uploader was not working . It was suddenly stopped. Please check this.
ERROR

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Upload failed!' in /home/icampuz/Backup/DropboxUploader.php:131 Stack trace: #0 /home/icampuz/Backup/dropboxBackup_ngi.php(8): DropboxUploader->upload('/home/icampuz/b...', 'backup', 'ngi_db.zip') #1 {main}

It seems 'https://dl-web.dropbox.com/upload' is not working/not there anymore. I guess that would be the problem.
Is there a fix for this?

Looks like Dropbox added '_subject_uid' and 'mtime' to post requets parameters.

$postData = array(
'plain' => 'yes',
'file' => '@' . $source,
'dest' => $remoteDir,
't' => $token,
'_subject_uid' => '1532641',
'mtime' => '1348870752'
);

mtime you can get using php's time() function.

For _subject_uid, login to your dropbox account, scroll over any file you have in it and check out the hyperlink. There will be a _subject_uid parameter in the hyperlink.

You say I should add that block of code and then it will work again? Do you mean in the DropboxUploader.php scrips?
And would that be within this line of code:
protected function request($url, $post=false, $postData=array()) {

In the script that is communicating with DropboxUpload.php I have:
$uploader = new DropboxUploader('username', 'password');
$uploader->upload(file, dest);

Hope you can help!

You can see a piece of code like

$postData = array(
'plain' => 'yes',
'file' => '@' . $source,
'dest' => $remoteDir,
't' => $token
);
in DropboxUploader.php

and replace with

$postData = array(
'plain' => 'yes',
'file' => '@' . $source,
'dest' => $remoteDir,
't' => $token,
'_subject_uid' => '1532641',
'mtime' => '1348870752'
);

For _subject_uid, login to your dropbox account, scroll over any file you have in it and check out the hyperlink. There will be a _subject_uid parameter in the hyperlink.

mtime you can get using php's time() function.

Aneeshtclt,
Thank you so much! For the answer and the very quick response. It is working again :)

For modified time, you can use these code
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta"); // your timezone
$date = new DateTime(null);
$timestamp = $date->getTimestamp() + $date->getOffset();
