OAuth2 on Win10: not returning to my app

Thanks for confirming my hunch about the redirect URI.

I've passed along a localhost string to the Azure admin with a port 
specifier that matches the one I'm passing into the lib.  Still no go - 
same result, no browser widget close.

One possible issue: the admin tells me the Azure admin UI doesn't allow 
"http" as a scheme, so he used "https".  Azure accepted it so that much 
is fine, but of course SSL isn't used for local host so is that what's 
throwing this off?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to docs for 
the lib.  So far all I've found it one example Lesson about Slack.

TIA -
