SimpleTest waits on GetContextAsync() call

I am attempting to retrieve the access token via the Dropbox SDK and I am using the SimpleTest program.  The browser keeps going to an error page after log in and the progress in HandleOAuth2Redirect...

We'll be happy to take a look at this, but we could use some more information. Can you let me know:

  • What version number of the SDK are you using?
  • Have you made any modifications to the SimpleTest example?
  • Do you get any error or output in the console in Visual Studio?
  • What's the full URL of the page with the "This site can't be reached" error? (Be sure to redact any access token though.)

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response.  The version is 6.1.0 though it is the same in 4.9.  

 

I have made no modifications other than to include my ApiKey value over the xxxxx in the ApiKey assignment and set the LoopbackHost to "https://localhost/" (not sure if that was a change).

Only outputs are typical symbols loaded messages.  No other errors.

URL:  https://localhost/authorize#uid=2043413648&access_token=xxxxx&token_type=bearer&state=01e0755450044ccc86972ed65edbbc7f&scope=account_info.read+account_info.write+files.content.read+files.content.write+files.metadata.read+files.metadata.write&account_id=dbid%3AAABY27bg64bgzUqQ4xF8XUoxciuqDZAeIdI

    Thanks! The LoopbackHost in the sample code as provided is "http://127.0.0.1:52475/", not "https://localhost/", so it does sound like that was a change you made. 

     

    I would not expect "https://localhost/" to work, as you wouldn't normally have an SSL/TLS certificate for localhost. Please trying switching that back to the original value and try again.

      Thank you very much Greg.  Adding the ipaddress and the port number with authorization in the console worked.
