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

; It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
; This example loads the JSON access token file 
; saved by this example: Get SalesForce OAuth2 Access Token via Authorization Flow

; This is an example of a Salesforce OAuth2 access token to be refreshed:

;   "refresh_token": "5Aep....25xdGgkrV",
;   "signature": "cjTbSc5DvcKpaMoRTzuQTJLb1tcMw8LEO01flq4aMD4=",

; Note: The client secret is not required because we configured our Connected App
; to not require it for the refresh flow.  See the screenshot below.

; Get the "refresh_token"
