Can you run in localhost an app that use Twitter OAuth?

Question

When you edit your app settings at Twitter.com, you can asked for a return url, but you can set it to localhost/return. Can you?

I think this is useful in developing time.

When I fill the form with this url: http://localhost/return

I get this error: Not a valid URL format

Answer 1

http://127.0.0.1/return will do the trick!

Answer 2

Add oauth_callback=http://localhost/return as a parameter when you get request_tokens.
