Twitter oAuth callbackUrl - localhost development

Question

Is anyone else having a difficult time getting Twitters oAuth\'s callback URL to hit their localhost development environment. Apparently it has been disabled recently. http:

Answer 1

Use http://smackaho.st

What it does is a simple DNS association to 127.0.0.1 which allows you to bypass the filters on localhost or 127.0.0.1 :

smackaho.st. 28800 IN A 127.0.0.1

So if you click on the link, it will display you what you have on your local webserver (and if you don't have one, you'll get a 404). You can of course set it to any page/port you want :
