使用http：// localhost时出现错误“无效的uri”

Question

I'm working with my first api here and I'm trying to get through the Oauth authorization so i can start working with the api. When trying to get the short life access key with the following code surveymonkey is telling me I have an invalid uri. The api key and username are replaced with dummies

string url = "https://api.surveymonkey.net/oauth/authorize";
string api_key = "api_key=sdwertyujgfv3f24qqa4kfyd";
string client_id = "client_id=XXX";
string redirect_uri="redirect_uri=http://localhost";
url = url + "?" + redirect_uri +"&" + client_id + "&" + api_key;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);

What is the uri and how do i use is in this situation.

You can not bitly a localhost link. You could try with 127.0.0.1 instead just to get it to work. But ultimately once the app is deployed it's hostname will not be localhost so it will work if that was the only obstacle.
