Trying to use OAuth2 for Dropbox in 9 DP 9

I'm attempting to use the OAuth2 and Dropbox libraries in LC 9.0.0 (dp9).
(If I test the Dropbox functions with a temporary access token for my app
generated from the Dropbox api website, it's fine.)
When I try to use the Oauth2 command to implement this for users, I get a
sheet dialog with what I take to be a message from Dropbox,
Invalid redirect_uri. It must exactly match one of
the redirect URIs you've pre-configured for your app
(including the path).
The redirect URI I have registered for my app is
http://127.0.0.1:51051
where 51051 is the port number I've passed in the OAuth2 command.
(As a handy side effect, there's no way to close the sheet dialog...)
This is LC 9.0.0 DP 9, on Mac OS X 10.12.6. I've not yet tried on any other
platforms.
I'm using
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize
https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token
as the pAuthURL and pTokenURL, respectively; with an empty pScopes parameter.
Is there an obvious thing I'm doing wrong?
TIA.
Ben
