OAuth Redirect URL doesn't allow test domain
When entering a domain on the app page, I get this error: Non-local OAuth 2 redirect URIs may not start with "http:" or "javascript:"
http://mydomain.test/login/check-dropbox
Now I understand you don't want to open all domains etc, but the .test domain is a clear usecase for local development since June 1999: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606#page-2
Can you allow, if the tld is .test that I can add it as a redirect without https?
Thanks for writing this up! I can't make any promises, but I'm sending this along as a feature request.

Thanks. This would make a lot of difference for me when developing. Thankfully I have a good setup that allows me to quickly add some TLS to it, but that might not always be an option. So it would be a good practice to support .test as a local domain since it should not be routed online anyways.
