Still true that redirect_uri doesn't need to exist? #131

Referring to docs on this page. It indicates that redirect_uri simply needs to match between the browser and what's registered (ie something like 'http://locahost:8000`), but I wasn't able to get my sandbox auth to work until I made my server externally accessible to FamilySearch.

It is true that the path portion of the redirect_uri doesn't need to exist. However the host does need to exist and needs to be accessible from a browser. In testing, it only needs to be your browser. When the app is released it needs to be accessible to your users.

Does that make sense?
