DropboxOAuth2Helper GetAuthorizeUri removing port from redirecturl?
When using the DropboxOAuth2Helper.GetAuthorizeUri - we pass in the following params:
var response = DropboxOAuth2Helper.GetAuthorizeUri(OAuthResponseType.Code, ClientId, redirectUrl, state); ...
The Dropbox .NET SDK builds a Uri from the redirectUri string you provide, using the Uri Constructor. The Uri Class canonicalizes URIs, including:
"Removes default and empty port numbers."
The "443" port is default for SSL/TLS, so it's implied by "https://" and shouldn't be necessary.
Can you elaborate on the issues you're running in to with it omitted though?

Hi Greg, thanks for the reply!
Since the GetAuthorizeUri method seemed to be removing the 443 it was a mismatch between the redirect url sent in there and the one we were sending into the ProcessCodeFlowAsync method - although to us, the url we were sending into both of them was the same. Once we also removed the 443 from the PCFA method, we were able to authenticate with dropbox.
The removal of the default port was not inherently obvious in these docs when we went looking for what was happening: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_DropboxOAuth2Helper_GetAuthorizeUri.htm
- I should specify that the error we were getting was:
An unhandled exception has occurred: invalid_grant (1fff7674)
Dropbox.Api.OAuth2Exception: invalid_grant
