How can I get Yahoo OAuth to work when I develop locally when my local domain is not registered with Yahoo?

Question

I'm working on an app that uses Yahoo OAuth. The OAuth had been working fine but I just registered my domain with Yahoo and now it will not let me use the OAuth when I develop locally because "Custom port is not allowed or the host is not registered with this consumer key."

The issue is because my call back URL is to a domain that is not registered with Yahoo (http://localhost:8080/welcome).

I'm not sure what to do. I'm also new to development so if you could be specific with suggestions that would be awesome! Any help is greatly appreciated.

It looks like Yahoo! doesn't want you to do this. Some answers from similar questions might be helpful (or not):

EDIT: more evidence Yahoo! doesn't support this: http://developer.yahoo.net/forum/?showtopic=6496&cookiecheckonly=1
