Callback URL with localhost?

[Jamie]

Is it possible to use localhost in the callback URL for OAuth? I have
the callback URL set up as http://localhost:3000/login/verified but
when my app goes to Fourquare for authorization, it gives me the
verifier but doesn't redirect back to that URL. Am I missing something?

[Kevin Marshall]

If they redirect to that address it would be on their system (ie.
localhost to them does not point to the same spot as localhost for you
does)...

Yes,

You should specify the oauth_callback in your request_token call.
Most oauth libraries provide that ability, but if you have trouble, reply with a code snippet.

See docs here: http://groups.google.com/group/foursquare-api/web/oauth

Thanks Jon. I tried that and it worked!
