Trying to create a client ID with a private IP address for testing purposes

[Adam S]

Hi there,

I'm using the Google Contacts API for the very first time, and I created a client ID for my localhost without an issue.  However, I also have a dev server with a private IP address that I use for testing but not revealing to the public (for brevity's sake, we'll call it 1.2.3.4).  When I went to create another client ID for it, I'm told that OAuth 2 redirect URL "http://1.2.3.4/oauth2callback" is invalid. 

Is this because I'm using an IP address instead of an actual domain name, and as such the potential for phishing is there (which is what I'm suspecting is the underlying cause)?  If so, how would I indicate that 1.2.3.4 is an IP for a server that only I have access to?

Thanks.

Adam, I am having the same issue.  Please tell me, were you ever able to resolve this, and how?

Thanks,

Yes, I was.  However, I had to register a test domain name to make it happen.  Probably not the answer you're looking for, but sadly it was the only one I could come up with.
