Future development / To do
- Everything can always be better...
- OAuth creates problem in production server Swagger UI 'Try It Out' functionality.
- Shows login screen html template, and not endpoint output.
- OAuth is still implemented, just not used for API doc access, so you can see output of different API endpoints in 'Try It Out' parts of Swagger UI
- OAuth redirect doesn't send response to calling UI app. Need to sort this out.
