(Excel) Refresh a Dynamics CRM OAuth2 Access Token

Demonstrates how to refresh an expiring Dynamics CRM access token using the refresh token. endpoint.

(If a REST API call fails with a 401 unauthorized error, an application can auto-recover by refreshing the access token, and then re-send the request using the new token.)

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

'  We previously obtained an access token and saved the JSON to a file using this example:
'  Get Dynamics CRM OAuth2 Access Token

'  This example will examine the JSON and expiration date, and if near expiration will
'  refresh the access token.

Dim json As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set json = Chilkat.NewJsonObject

success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/dynamicsCrm.json")
If (success <> True) Then
    Exit Sub
End If

'  The contents of the JSON look like this:
'  {
'    "token_type": "Bearer",
'    "scope": "user_impersonation",
'    "expires_in": "3599",
'    "ext_expires_in": "0",
'    "expires_on": "1524783438",
'    "not_before": "1524779538",
'    "resource": "https://mydomain.api.crm.dynamics.com",
'    "access_token": "...",
'    "refresh_token": "...",
'    "id_token": "..."
'  }

'  The "expires_on" value is a Unix time.
Dim dtExpire As Chilkat.CkDateTime
Set dtExpire = Chilkat.NewCkDateTime
success = dtExpire.SetFromUnixTime(False,json.IntOf("expires_on"))

'  If this date/time expires within 10 minutes of the current system time, refresh the token.

'  OK, we need to refresh the access token by sending a POST...
'

End If

'  If an "expires_on" member does not exist, then add the JSON member by
