You should query your platform for the relevant loopback IP, and start an HTTP listener on a random available port, Substitute port for the actual port number you are listening on.
Recommended Usage:
* macOS
* Linux
* Windows desktop
** but not Universal Windows Platform apps.
Client Type:
* Register with type Other.
To receive the [Authorization Code] using this URL, your [application|OAuth Client] must be listening on the local web server. This is possible on many, but not all, platforms. If your platform supports it this is the __recommended__ mechanism for obtaining the [Authorization Code].
When your [application|OAuth Client] receives the [authorization Response], for best usability, it should respond with an [HTML] page, instructing the user to close the browser tab and return to your [application|OAuth Client].
Note: It is also possible to use [localhost] in place of the loopback IP, but this may cause issues with client firewalls. Most firewalls allow loopback communication, though this may not always be the case.
