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

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

// 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.Login = "DROPBOX_APP_KEY"
http.Password = "DROPBOX_APP_SECRET"
