URL with # sign
I am writing code with Dorpbox API, It seems working ok as I am calling oauth 2 and return with access_token etc.. looks ok with one issue, in querystring it return with # rather then ? like https://www.sitename.com/dboxcallback.asp?access_token=xxxxxx&token_type=xxxr&uid=xxxx
is this normal? I am expect it would be ? rather then #. or there are something I am doing wrong?

See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#oa2-authorize. If you're using the token flow, which is intended for client-side apps (including JavaScript in the browser), then the access token and other parameters are included in the URL fragment (the portion of the URL after the
#sign).If you use the code flow (more appropriate for server-side code), then the authorization code will be in a query parameter, and you'll then make a call to
/oauth2/tokento exchange the authorization code for an access token.All of this is part of the OAuth 2 standard, not specific to Dropbox, so consider reading up on OAuth 2 itself.
