    //  Here is a sampling of possible optional parameters that might
    //  be used by some OAuth2 providers.

    //  Optional Parameters
    //  
    //      "scope":
    //          Specifies the scope of the access request. If omitted, the authorization
    //          server may issue a token with the same scope as the original token.
    //          Example: "scope=read write"
    //  
    //      "redirect_uri":
    //          The redirect URI used in the original authorization request. Some
    //          servers may require this for validation.
    //          Example: "redirect_uri=https://example.com/callback"
    //  
    //      "resource":
    //          Indicates the target resource or audience for the token. This is used in
    //          some implementations (e.g., Microsoft Identity Platform).
    //          Example: "resource=https://api.example.com"
    //  
    //      "audience":
    //          Similar to "resource", this specifies the intended audience for the
    //          token (used in some OAuth2 implementations like Auth0).
    //          Example: "audience=https://api.example.com"
    //  
    //      "client_assertion" and "client_assertion_type":
    //          Used for client authentication using a signed JWT instead of a client
    //          secret.
    //          Example:client_assertion=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...        
    //          client_assertion_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer
    //  
    //      "token_type_hint":
    //          Provides a hint to the authorization server about the type of token
    //          being refreshed. This is rarely used but can be helpful in some cases.
    //          Example: "token_type_hint=refresh_token"
    //  
    //      "assertion":
    //          Used in some flows (e.g., SAML bearer assertion flow) to provide an
    //          assertion for token issuance.
    //          Example: "assertion=PHNhbWxwOl..."
    //  
    //      "requested_token_use":
    //          Specifies how the token will be used (e.g., "on_behalf_of" in the
    //          On-Behalf-Of flow used by Microsoft Identity Platform).
    //          Example: "requested_token_use=on_behalf_of"
    //  

    //  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  This example wll refresh the access token and includes the "audience"
    //  optional query parameter.
    //  
    //  

    //  Get the access token to be refreshed.
