Thank you for your reply; when I run my app as user privilege ,All works well. but run as system privilege , I receive statusCode=500,All response message:
HTTP/1.1 500

server: envoy
Content-security-policy: sandbox allow-forms allow-scripts
x-content-type-option: nosiff

use code like: WinHttpConnect(hin,"api.dropboxapi.com",443,0);
WinHttpOpenRequest(**,"POST", 2/files/delete_v2.**);
WinHttpAddRequestHeader("Authorization: Bearer *******");
WinHttpAddRequestHeader("Content-type: application/json");
