403 Forbidden error on API access through Java

I am trying to call dropbox's API's through a java based client (spring security) but I get a 403 (Forbidden) error when I do that. The error is WARNING: POST request for "https://www.dropbox.com/...
API

www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize should only be accessed by a user, so I'm confused as to why your code is issuing a POST request to it at all.

I've never used Spring, so I'm not really set up to help debug this. Perhaps you can get better help on a Spring forum?
