Redirect URI for localhost not working

Hello, I have troubles in adding the redirect URI to my dropbox app. The placeholder said that http is allowed for localhost. I use a hostname. 

 

 

How can I fix that without setting up https? The app is still in develop.

    As a matter of security, Dropbox doesn't allow the use of http:// with a non-localhost redirect URI. I'll ask the team to look into adding an exception for .local, but I can't make any promises as to if or when that would be done.

    I'm having the same problem. Is the exception added for this?

    rpmgr No, unfortunately we have not added an exception to allow .local. I'm not aware of plans to do so currently, but I'll follow up here if that changes.
