Redirect URI for localhost not working

[jenny_]

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.
