If I understand correctly, you are attempting to register your web application with Google to create a consumer key and secret? The application is running on your local machine and so after adding the verification file to localhost you tell google to verify the file exists. Upon doing so you get the error you mentioned. The problem is that localhost only resolves to your web application on your computer. When goolge tries to connect to localhost it would attempt to check its' localhost (i.e. the box that the site verification application is running on...a google machine) for the verification file. The file you uploaded exists on your machine not googles. Likely the error you are getting is because google prevents connections to localhost (so people cannot see what ports are being used) or just does not have port 80 open.
If you do not have your application deployed to a public url and are just attempting to test your application, you can use the installed apps document [1]. In short, you can use anonymous for both your consumer key and secret. You can specify a display name using the xoauth_displayname parameter.
