.Net client issues when using refresh tokens
I am trying to use the .Net SDK, versions 6.2 and 6.14, with refresh tokens but am having issues. We create a DropboxClient with a DropboxClientConfig with the HttpClient configured with a short 7 second timeout and proxy configuration. This setup has worked well in all environments with long lived access tokens for years. When working with Refresh tokens, I am having the following issues:
1. API calls work fine when calling locally (where I don't need a proxy) and take less than a second
2. When deployed to our test environment, the API calls timeout after 100 seconds
In the refresh token case, I suspect that the Dropbox client is not honoring our DropboxClientConfig. I've examined your Dropbox client code and this indeed looks to be the case. When your code tries to retrieve a new access token using the Refresh token, it uses a default HttpClient (with 100 second timeout), not the one passed via DropboxClientConfig.
Please comment how to address this. I cannot meet the Sept 30th deadline if this code does not work.
Thanks for the report! I'll ask the team to fix this up.
I can't promise a timeline for that though, so feel free to open an API ticket with the relevant app key(s) to ask for an extension.

Is there any status on the fix for this? Shall I open an issue on the gitlab SDK repo so I can track it?

This is still open with the team, but I don't have an update on it. I'll follow up here once I do. There's no need to open another thread/issue for this. This thread serves as the external reference for this.
