oauth provider? (api link)
oauth version? (1 or 2)

Refresh token RFC

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-1.5
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-6
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-10.4

make a post request on the url described by your oauth provider
sample: POST xxx/refresh?refresh_token=XXX&client_id=YYY&grant_type=refresh_token&client_secret ...

expiration currently must be handled by you in failure callback, and reconnect then

Is it there a reason why OAtuhSwift does not implement the refresh mechanism but itself?
I believe a good start would be to add expires_in and refresh_token properties in the OAuthSwiftCredential object such that those can be exposed to the client that might need to kick off a "token refresh" request.

I'd like to make a PR about this but I'm not sure if this kind of implementation is against the OAuthSwift's roadmap.

Thanks.

@fabiomassimo no reason I think
(I use only oauth1 so I did not investigate this topic, just make some google and rfc search to provide some answer)
every PR is welcomed about this subject
