[OpenID] Login to an RP fails with a Yahoo OpenID

Hi Prabath,

The Yahoo OP requires that you have a proper TLD (no IP addresses) and 
that you're running your web server on a standard port (80 or 443). 
These restrictions were meant to keep the Yahoo OP consistent with Yahoo 
BBAuth, although this might be a bit too restrictive for developers that 
are experimenting with OpenID in development/test environment.

Thanks,
Allen
