    Description

      Even though the current best practice RFC states states that

      While redirect URIs using localhost (i.e.,"http://localhost:{port}/{path}") function similarly to loopback IP redirects described in Section 7.3, the use of localhost is NOT RECOMMENDED.
      

      Some OAuth server vendors still expect it to be used instead of IP literal (127.0.0.1 in case of IPv4).

      Add an option or document how to do it on the QOAuthHttpServerReplyHandler.
