Invalid client_id when trying to get authorization code

[mndrix]

I've installed dbxcli via "go get" since binaries are not available for OpenBSD. When I copy and paste the OAuth URL I get this error:

Error (400)
It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.

Invalid client_id: "mvhz183vwqibe7q".

Issue #62 resolved this problem by installing the latest binaries. Since those aren't available for my platform, how should I proceed? Thanks.

@mndrix yes, 'go get' won't work because the credentials in the code base are "dummy". If you are really motivated, you can register your own apps (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps) and build using your own credentials. It'll be simpler though for me to just add OpenBSD to the list of generated binaries -- only caveat is that I have no way of testing them, so you'll be on your own there.

LMK if that works for you and I can generate a new release with OpenBSD binaries. Can you provide the exact OS/Arch combo you are using?

[mndrix]

That sounds good to me.

$ uname -srp
OpenBSD 6.1 amd64

@mndrix try the binary from the latest releases page and LMK!

The OpenBSD binary release is working fine for me. Thanks

dbxcli should print a warning if started with dummy credentials, explaining the issue.

Not everyone reads installation instructions since go install is usually the way to install a Go tool.

And BTW, the instructions are incomplete as one also needs to add scopes (files.metadata.read, etc. are not enabled by default)
