Demonstrates how to get a GitHub OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. Go

    success := false

    // To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

    oauth2 := chilkat.NewOAuth2()

    // 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.SetListenPort(3017)

    oauth2.SetAuthorizationEndpoint("https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize")
    oauth2.SetTokenEndpoint("https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token")

    // Replace with your actual Client ID
    oauth2.SetClientId("CLIENT_ID")

    // This is for Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)
    // See OAuth2 PKCE Explained
    oauth2.SetCodeChallenge(true)
    oauth2.SetCodeChallengeMethod("S256")

    // To force the OAuth consent screen to reappear (even if previously granted)
    oauth2.AddAuthQueryParam("prompt","consent")

    // 
    // 1: Waiting for Redirect – The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the browser's redirect request.
    // 2: Waiting for Final Response – The thread is awaiting the final access token response.
    // In either case, cancel the background task initiated by StartAuth.

    // 
    // 3: Success – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.
    // 4: Access Denied – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
    // 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
