Can the callback URL use an IP address, or does it need to be a proper DNS name? Can it have a self-signed certificate? Does it even need to be secured?
If the callback URL can use an IP address and doesn't require https, you could set up a Digital Ocean droplet for it in a couple of minutes. Or you could set up a port-forward on your router and run an HTTP server on your machine, but I think the Digital Ocean route might be quicker.
- foolfoolz 9y agowho are you expecting to understand this? there's tons of people out there who have no idea what these terms mean. DNS? Self Signed? IP address maybe... droplet? they are going to say "too hard, close tab"
- Mister_Snuggles 9y agoAt a quick glance, it seems like anything beyond a fire-and-forget SMS/fax done with Twilio requires a callback. My guess is that Twilio is expecting their customers to be able to write a callback and is willing to accept the associated barriers for entry.
