Redirect URI not acceptable as show in the video

The Instagram developer site will not accept a redirect URI like the one shown in the video. I was able to get the form to submit by adding "https:" to the beginning. My redirect URI now is "https://photobombers://auth/instagram"

This then causes problems when trying to authenticate. The error description that happens when trying to authenticate states, "A server with the specified hostname could not be found."

I'm not sure how to get around this because it seems to me that the Instagram is going to actually search for the hostname on the internet.

Timothy,

Double check the URL. The format does not look right. Also can you post the code?
