Answer 1

It may help someone else also -

Please add following entry in hosts file (located at [%system drive%]\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)

127.0.0.1  www.example.com 

#[Please replace example domain with your actual one]

Windows live server expects your return url to have http:// in it but chrome does not add it and IE do add it, I realized this after wasting sometime.

This should get you through testing api on your local machine.
