The redirect_uri being supplied in that /authorize URL is: "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob". That doesn't start with https://, and as such isn't allowed by Dropbox's OAuth 2 implementation, per the error message. You'll need to use an https:// (or localhost) redirect URI instead. 

If it's helpful for your case, Dropbox provides a receiver page at: https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/redirect_receiver
