I seem to remember that my prototype "headless" client (ie something you 
could embed into a local desktop app) used checkid_immediate so that it 
could get back the setup URL and pop up a browser window in that case. 
Perhaps some of those 127.0.0.1s are doing that.

(In my case, I cheated to avoid using 127.0.0.1 and had my app do the 
request a second time and just parse the "Location:" URL in the redirect 
response, but in retrospect I guess there's no guarantee that the IdP 
will use a redirect response to get back to the return_to URL)
