As a site developer, it’s frustrating not to be able to use Roblox OAuth2 (Redirect URLs) with localhost due to the requirement for a valid SSL certificate.
While having an SSL is fine, it’s not particularly useful when all I’m doing is running my site locally for testing. Most services that use OAuth2 don’t have this requirement. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it could be more flexible if the service recognizes that the redirect URL is localhost.
One possible improvement would be if, when localhost is detected, the service could limit the number of users or restrict access to the current user account until the URL is changed to a valid domain.
The reason I’m requesting this change is to save time. Time is valuable, and having to publish my work and wait for it to upload to my server is not an efficient development workflow under the current restriction.
Best regards,
