How to test the twitter API locally?

I'm trying to write a web application that would use Twitter via OAuth.

  1. I run my local server as 'localhost', so I need the callback URL to be something like http://localhost/something/twitter.do but Twitter doesn't like that: Not a valid URL format

  2. I'm probably going to do a lot of tests, but once I've approved my app with my username, I can't test again can I? Am I supposed to create multiple twitter accounts? Or can you remove an app and do it again?

twitter oauth

  1. You can use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

  2. You can authorize your app as many times as you like from the same twitter account without the necessity to revoke it. However, the authenticate action will only prompt for Allow/Deny once and all subsequent authenticate requests will just pass through until you revoke the privilege.
