OAuth2 Token using IdentityServer4 with Client Credentials

See more OAuth2 Examples

Demonstrates how to get an OAuth2 access token using the client credential flow with IdentityServer4. Rust

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// The first step is to fetch your IdentityServer4's discovery document
// (OpenID Connect defines a discovery mechanism, called OpenID Connect Discovery, where an OpenID server publishes its metadata at a well-known URL, 
// typically https://server.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

if resp.status_code() != 200 {
    println!("Received response status code {}", resp.status_code());
    println!("Response body containing error text or JSON:");
    println!("{}", resp.body_str());
    return;
}

let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
