When I invoke this my page, it send a GET to https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize with this params:
?client_id=<my_app_key>&redirect_uri=<myRedirectUri>&response_type=code
...
In this response it is missing the REFRESH_TOKEN.

...
I receive the correct data with the REFRESH_TOKEN

Hope this helps.
