Demonstrates how to mint a new access token using the refresh token obtained when originally getting the OAuth2 access token. AutoIt

; This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Implements the following CURL command:

; curl -X GET https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
;     -d grant_type=refresh_token \
;     -d refresh_token=<YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN> \
;     -u <YOUR_APP_KEY>:<YOUR_APP_SECRET>

; Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
; Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

; Get the refresh token from the JSON we saved when originally getting the access token.
