KeyError: 'oauth_state'

Question

Hi I am currently trying to test the code on https://github.com/futurice/whereareyou

I have a problem on the master server side.

The error received

Please help. Thank you.

I was facing the same problem when I was using session in my app with the following link provided by Flask :

http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Solution: It however perfectly works with http://localhost:5000/

Just replace your local IP address(127.0.0.1) with "localhost".
