Test development Ruby on Rails apps authentication with remote OAuth2 provider

If you've configured your Doorkeeper with the default settings it will not allow you to put localhost:3000 as the redirect callback because it requires an SSL protected redirect. For staging apps you may want to set force_ssl_in_redirect_uri false in your Doorkeeper initializer.

However, you may want to test your local app against a live OAuth provider with a callback URL that imitates your client application's protocol, i.e. https://app_name.dev/
