Dropbox Refresh OAuth2 Access Token

Demonstrates how to mint a new access token using the refresh token obtained when originally getting the OAuth2 access token. Tcl

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

set http [new_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

CkHttp_put_Login $http "DROPBOX_APP_KEY"

# Get the refresh token from the JSON we saved when originally getting the access token.
