Google API Authentication

Using the Google Javascript API I am trying to authenticate myself (locally) to create a new event in my calendar. However, I get an error (see below) stating that my "next" parameter is bad or missing when I execute the log-in portion of the script. I am following the data api interactive samples for "Create a single event".

Update 1: From the address bar I see "next" set the following way:

next=file:///C:/calext/sending_data.html

Does Google not like local files? Workaround?

Update 2: I tried running the file on my web host. The page ran (threw a few errors) but the event ended up on my calendar. So the bug lies somewhere with not liking local files. Thoughts?
