Extracting implicit auth token from URL

I don’t really understand why this is, are you able to explain why? or have a resource that i can read in to so that i can better understand why the webserver is needed to test this as opposed to using localhost? I’m assuming it has to do with security, but wish to fully understand.

localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. The example doesn’t work when running off file:// URL’s

But both need to be running off something that serves HTML on port 80, for http and port 443 for https (generally speaking). So it should work for localhost, assuming your localhost is configure correctly and nothing else is running that may grab it.
