Implements #353

pbek commented 3 years ago

Needs more work, because I used mod.session.Post and that seems to also validate the access token (which expires after one hour). So I'll have to do the POST by hand. 😬

And the token is not a permanent one...

1) We currently only have a Short-lived User Access Token that is valid for one hour (user interaction required). 2) You need 1) to get a Long-lived User Access Token (valid 60 days), request can be made in the background 3) You need 2) to get a Permanent token, request can be made in the background

I fixed that one. It all works well now with an expired user access token, but manually getting a permanent page token is still inconvenient.

Automatic permanent page access token generating and storing are working now!

The pull request is now ready for inspection and merging, @muesli!

@muesli, I improved the error handling and created an inline struct. Thank you for the helpful feedback... New things I learned. 😁
