(Tcl) Microsoft Graph -- Renew Expiring Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint)

Demonstrates how to renew an expiring access token using the refresh token. This example is for renewing an access token using the Azure AD endpoint (not the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint).

An app needs to watch for the expiration of these tokens and renew the expiring access token before the refresh token expires.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

# 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 Access Token using Azure AD Endpoint

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

# The contents of the JSON look like this:
# {
#     "token_type":"Bearer",
#     "scope": "Calendar.ReadWrite Directory.Read.All Files.ReadWrite Group.ReadWrite.All Mail.ReadWrite Mail.Send User.ReadBasic.All",
