OAuth2 implicit grant (token flow) does not work in IE/.Net Winform WebBrowser
Currently I'm developing a .Net WinForms desktop app.
I initiate a token-based OAuth2 flow with this URL in IE11 (or to be more precise: the WebBrowser control of .Net WinForms):

Hi Steve,
I fixed it your way and it basically works.
But I encountered some weird behavior:
- If authorization is done and redirected to https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/redirect_receiver is performed I can grab the token from the URL. But additionally to that my standard browser (in my case Firefox) opens up with this page. That's not expected
- If I'm not authorized in any browser the authorization flow askes to login. That's fine. But if I'm already logged in prior authorization the behavior differs whether I've already authorized the app (login page is displayed, after lgging in, not further step is required by user) or not (no login page is displayed; user has to authorize access).
Especially the first bullet point is not acceptable for me. Maybe the second could be solved by navigating first to logout page and after that to the authorization URL (that's the same behavior to other OAuth services).
Regrads,
Daniel
