Windows Live Setup

Windows live setup is a little frustrating. It requires an actual domain name to test with. This means you cannot use a domain like

http://localhost:8051

The domain localhost just isn't accepted by the API, because of this you will need to either:

• Use your hosts file to use a random domain name locally such as mytestdomain.com
• Or. Use a service like localtest.me *.localtest.me Read Me

This will allow you to register a domain name and test locally.

Also, you only need to provide a host and port (if not port 80). No other data is required (or accepted, by Windows Live).

Here's a sample screen shot of my application settings in Windows Live.

Please take note of the domain name I'm using (for testing) is that funny localtest.me domain.
