Discuss Dropbox Developer & API
I am attempting to retrieve the access token via the Dropbox SDK and I am using the SimpleTest program. The browser keeps going to an error page after log in and the progress in HandleOAuth2Redirect never gets past the call to http.GetContextAsync(). Any ideas what I am missing?
Note the error is a 'This site can't be reached The connection was reset' page. The url appears to contain a valid access_token and other valid data but I am not able to collect it programmatically because the listener does not seem to respond?
Thanks! The LoopbackHost in the sample code as provided is "http://127.0.0.1:52475/", not "https://localhost/", so it does sound like that was a change you made.
I would not expect "https://localhost/" to work, as you wouldn't normally have an SSL/TLS certificate for localhost. Please trying switching that back to the original value and try again.
We'll be happy to take a look at this, but we could use some more information. Can you let me know:
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick response. The version is 6.1.0 though it is the same in 4.9.
I have made no modifications other than to include my ApiKey value over the xxxxx in the ApiKey assignment and set the LoopbackHost to "https://localhost/" (not sure if that was a change).
Only outputs are typical symbols loaded messages. No other errors.

Thank you very much Greg. Adding the ipaddress and the port number with authorization in the console worked.
