Answer Well received.
When the fixed port number is used according to the reply contents, it works correctly.
Fixing the port number is probably a problem.
You specified port 56207 in the app console as 'http://127.0.0.1:56207'.
OAuth2 authentication is expected to fail if the 56207 port is blocked on the PC or another application is preempting it.
So, when redirecting to Localhost, I want to specify port number which is not used in PC.
I know that 'Google' is not limited to Localhost.

yes, fixed port number is really a headache.
And you are right about Google. For some reason Dropbox limits their redirect URIs when Google allows to define that URI dynamically.
Instead of letting my web server find out which port is available I have to loop over fixed number of ports and try to run that server using first avaialble port. It is really uncomfortable.
