Service Unavailable 503

When I http POST to the above URL for refreshing Access ...
ram4444 Thanks for following up and sharing that, and apologies for the delay. (It appears your latest message may have initially been caught in a spam filter.)
Anyway, I see your client is sending a "TE" header in the request, but no "Connection" header. According to the specification, the corresponding "Connection" header value is required when setting the "TE" header. I am able to reproduce the error you see when setting "TE" and not "Connection", and I am able to resolve the error by setting both "TE" and "Connection" (specifically, "Connection: TE"). If you are not able to remove the "TE" header your client is setting, you should try to have it set "Connection: TE" as well.

Dropbox Staffram4444 Can you share the full HTTP request (headers and body, if any) that results in a 503 so we can look into it? Be sure to redact your refresh token, app key, and app secret values though. Please also share the full response (headers and body, if any) for reference. Thanks in advance!
The request contains only the parameters but no header/body specified
val url = "https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=$longTimeRefreshToken&client_id=$clientId&client_secret=$clientSecret"My code is Kotlin and I am using Fuel as the HTTP Library (which is on top of OKHTTP)
I tried in POSTMAN and the result is normal

ram4444 I understand you're including the parameters on the URL itself, but the actual HTTP request issued by your client would involve some start line and header(s) at least. So that we can investigate the request that causes that error, please print out and share the actual HTTP request itself. You may need to refer to the documentation for your client for information on how to enable more verbose output to show the request.
Below is what I obtain when I toString() the POST request.
I include headers same as what they are in POSTMAN (as they are generated automatically by POSTMAN) as well
--> POST https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=REDACTED&client_id=REDACTED&client_secret=REDACTED
Body : (empty)
Headers : (6)
Connection : keep-alive
User-Agent : PostmanRuntime/7.32.2
Accept : */*
Accept-Encoding : gzip, deflate, br
Cookie : locale=en; t=RzvutB7WDW79g72wIY13TQgy
Content-Length : 0However, no matter these headers are/not put in my code or not, the result status is still 503.
So I believe that there are something blocked on the API side to prevent my POST sending from JVM only but not the POSTMAN
