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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# 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

http.put_Login("DROPBOX_APP_KEY")
http.put_Password("DROPBOX_APP_SECRET")
