Hi, i'm tryng to to get Access Token from an OAuth2 Authorization Code flow.

Thanks for help

// PART 1: Get Authorization Code
Body =
"{
""username"":""<MyUsername>"",

}",

url = "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/api/login/sso",
GetJson = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[ContentType="application/json"], Content=Text.ToBinary(Body)])),

// The previous code correctly returns the Authorization Code

// PART 2: Now I try to Get Access Token passing the Authorization Code, the client_id and the client_secret

// Base64 Encoding

a2 = Text.ToBinary(a),
