oAuth2 seems to log in successfully but the oAuth2 dialog/browser does not disappear, have to click cancel

[Brian Milby]

The way the library works is that it sets up a listener on the IP/port.  It does not have any way to handle an encrypted (https) response/connection currently (and I’m not sure how that would even be implemented).

The code that handles the response is what closes the browser window that was created.  If it is not getting closed, then the response isn’t coming through.

However the dialog does not  close so I have to click the ‘Cancel’ button.  So the result returned by the oAuth2 command is “cancel’ and there is nothing in the ‘it’ variable.
