I've uploaded my resource pack into Dropbox and changed it so it's a direct download link. Then I entered the same website address into "resource_pack=" in the server.properties file. Whenever any body joins, it requests them to download the resource pack and install it. Even if they accept, the resource pack doesn't appear to be downloaded.
This was also further tested in 1.12 with a 1.12 - Compatible Resource Pack, this was not the case. I tested a 1.13 Server with a 1.12 Resource Pack, even though it was incompatible, the resource pack still downloaded.
I tried the opposite, A 1.12 Server with a 1.13 Resource Pack, it didn't download. I checked the link and re-uploaded the file multiple times, but no solution,
Keep In Mind That This Bug is From 1.13 - 1.14.4
For Further Investigations, I have provided the direct download links to both my 1.12 and 1.14 resource pack:

I'm not sure I fully follow your report. Are you saying this does not work correctly on older versions, but does work correctly as of 1.13 ?
I’m not sure though where does this issue come from, it’s either from the client-side (The game itself) or from the server.jar
It still didn't work, I don't think the problem comes from the dropbox link, because it will take forever to request the download and the server will be unplayable if the link was broken
The maximum file size for server-side resource packs is 52.4288 MB. Your 1.14 resource pack has a file size of 69.2 MB.
(If you wonder why it's 52.4288 MB: That equals exactly 50 MiB. MB is just the more commonly used format.)
I am not a 100% Sure if I posted this in the correct location, But Minecraft: Java Edition was the closest I could think of as this is related to it
