+1.  I'm guessing you wanted to display the Redirect URL to the end-user.  IMO that's a bad idea as those endpoints are generally application endpoints.  It'd be akin to showing the user an SAML ACS URL.  They'd get even more confused if it was a mobile application & the Redirect URL was something like mypersonalapp://proces-oauth-response.

I still cringe at this (mypersonalapp://process-oauth-response)
