I tried that, but could not get it to work with the office 365 system.
I used the basic idea to write my own version. Mine should be a
little more flexible and maybe could be adapted to work with other
systems like gmail/google but I have not tried to do that. I have
already spent too much of my time on this :-) The RFC6749 really is
pretty poor and allows so many variations that it is hard to write a
general OAUTH2 utility.

Anyway, I have spent a fair bit of time over the last few days adding
some documentation. I then need to decide on a licence, probably
gpl. After that I will push it to Gitlab and maybe others can extend or
improve it if needed.
