Overview
Instead of only checking for "localhost", also validate through
net.ParseIP
+IsLoopback
whether the host is numerically localhostWhat this PR does / why we need it
Currently,
localhost
is already used as a special case that allows any port and http scheme if no particular redirectURIs are configured. When integrating with ownClouds desktop client, it actually sends an arbitraryhttp://127.0.0.1:xyz
redirect uri. Considering that the go standard library already has the functionality to check if a given IP is a loopback address, we can extend the== "localhost"
with also a check forIsLoopback()
which should allow the ownCloud desktop client to be accepted.Special notes for your reviewer
