In this code, you're still putting the access token on the URL, but additionally with the string "Authorization". You should instead be sending this as a header. Based on the rest of your code, for your client that would probably look something like this:
oHTTP:setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer" + ctoken)
Likewise, note that for /2/files/upload, the API call parameters (your cJSON), should go in a "Dropbox-API-Arg" header, and the file data to upload should go in the request body. Please refer to the /2/files/upload documentation for more information on how to properly format this API call.
