HI, I developp a windows application in .net and would like to register it. It is the first time I see that a URL redirection is needed and didn’t have configured a local server. I I put “[http://localhost](http://localhost)”, it said that the redirections URLs must use the HTTPS protocol. When I type “httsp://localhost”, nothing happens when I click on the Create button.  
Thank you for your help

Please don’t bump 4 year old threads.

Ensure you’re typing it correctly. `http://localhost` is a valid redirect URL as Twitch doesn’t require HTTPS for localhost. Also if you’re using an unsupported browser you may get an inconsistent experience.

if you have put `http://localhost` and clicking submit and nothing is happening you are running into the “name is already taken or blocked and error is not surfaced” issue, not that it’s being blocked from a bad redirect URI

Ok, you were right : the app name was certainly already taken (no message didn’t mention it). So I tried "MEDIATHEQUE\_v3 and it worked.

Thank you!

Yeah thats the bug with the create UI, It doesn’t surface an error when the name is in use or blocked
