So callback URL should not be the cause of the problem.
I think the callback URL matters to make OAuth authorization succeeds. If the callback URL is not correct and shindig server acts as a consumer, the OAuth authorization process in shindig server would not succeed. Shindig server does not know whether the user has granted or denied the request. I am not sure about that. Maybe I am wrong.
