(C#) Refresh Access Token on 401 Unauthorized and Retry (Service Account)

See more Google Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to handle an expired access token error, refresh the token, and retry the request. (In this case, the request is to download an object from Google Cloud Storage.)

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

// the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
