* If there was no response from the browser within 90 seconds, then 
* the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
* 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
* 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
* In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.

* Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
* The possible AuthFlowState values are:
* 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.

* Save the full JSON access token response to a file.
loSbJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbJson.Append(loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse)
loSbJson.WriteFile("qa_data/tokens/datev.json","utf-8",0)

* The saved JSON response looks like this:

* {
* 	"refresh_token": "ZDA5Y .... FFhTXc9",
* 	"refresh_token_expires_in": 39600,
* 	"id_token": "eyJ .... Q9w",
* 	"access_token": "MTM .... 1UDA9",
* 	"token_type": "bearer",
* 	"expires_in": 900
