OAuth authentication

I've been experimenting with the Ipernity API as I'd like to add an Ipernity uploader to an application I've written. (It already has uploaders for Flickr and Google Photos.)

I tried to use OAuth authentication, as I'm already familiar with it, but am having problems with the oauth_callback parameter. I supply the URL of a temporary local server running on a random available port, e.g. 127.0.0.1:34526, but Ipernity strips out the port number and redirects to 127.0.0.1/?oauth_token=xxx.

Has anyone else run into this problem? And found a workaround?

Ipernity OAuth documentation is here: www.ipernity.com/help/api/auth.oauth.html

I've now given up using OAuth and am using the simpler auth_token obtained with a frob method (see www.ipernity.com/help/api/auth.soft.html).

Hi Jim - yes, that is also the only approach I was able to get to work.
