(Excel) OAuth2 using an HTTP Proxy (for a Desktop Application)

Demonstrates how to send OAuth2 communications through an HTTP proxy for a desktop application. The technique is the same for all OAuth2 applications. This one happens to demonstrate for Microsoft Graph.

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

' To use an HTTP proxy with OAuth2, create a Chilkat socket object and specify the details.
Dim socket As Chilkat.Socket
Set socket = Chilkat.NewSocket
' Use your HTTP proxy server domain or IP address.
socket.HttpProxyHostname = "myproxyserver.com"
' Change this to the listening port of your HTTP proxy server (if necessary)
socket.HttpProxyPort = 808
' Specify login/password if needed.
socket.HttpProxyUsername = "myProxyLogin"
socket.HttpProxyPassword = "myProxyPassword"
socket.HttpProxyForHttp = True

Dim oauth2 As Chilkat.OAuth2
Set oauth2 = Chilkat.NewOAuth2

' We don't need to connect the socket beforehand.
' Just tell oauth2 to use the socket which has the HTTP proxy properties.
success = oauth2.UseConnection(socket)

' This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
' The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
oauth2.ListenPort = 3017

oauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize"
oauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token"

' Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.ClientId = "MICROSOFT-GRAPH-CLIENT-ID"
' This is your app password:
oauth2.ClientSecret = "MICROSOFT-GRAPH-CLIENT-SECRET"

oauth2.CodeChallenge = False
' Provide a SPACE separated list of scopes.
' See https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/authorization/permission_scopes 

' Important: To get a refresh token in the final response, you have to ask for "offline_access" scope
oauth2.Scope = "openid profile offline_access user.readwrite mail.readwrite mail.send files.readwrite"

' Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.

    Debug.Print oauth2.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' At this point, your application should load the URL in a browser.
' For example, 
' in C#: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
' in Java: Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI(url));
' in VBScript: Set wsh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'              wsh.Run url
' in Xojo: ShowURL(url)  (see http://docs.xojo.com/index.php/ShowURL)

' 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
