The script can't retrive the access token #1

Hello, I have tried the mendeley-cli as per the instructions of README file. It launches the browser but nothing happens after that, I can see there is a code in the url but the webpage it redirects to doesn't exist. (I have used https://localhsot:8888).

I am using Python 3.8.10 on Ubuntu 20.04. Any insights what's happening? Thank you

Ah, OK. Please use HTTP and localhost, instead of HTTPS and localhsot :)

Thank you! the localhsot was a typo while I was writing the issue (my bad, I didn't use copy/paste). When I change the protocol to http it worked. But I wonder why is that the case? As far as I know (very limited knowledge) the redirect_uri could be anything and it doesn't matter which protocol I use?

In this script, the local server listens to HTTP only. So, the callback URL should be HTTP and localhost.
