I'm trying to set up stripe connect in a Python/Django application so that I can have a number of contractors taking work from a site and being paid directly.

I'm trying to get authorisation by getting a token for a new contractor. I've got the following view:

def authorise(request):
  site = 'https://connect.stripe.com' + '/oauth/authorize'
  params = {
    "response_type": "code",
    "scope": "read_write",
    "client_id": STRIPE_CLIENT_ID
  }

  # Redirect to Stripe /oauth/authorize endpoint
  url = site + '?' + urllib.urlencode(params)
  return redirect(url)

This will take me into Stripe to setup a connection but when I select the stripe connect button on the Stripe site I get:

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

My callback URL is 127.0.0.1/contractor/stripe_contractor_callback and the url call is: http://127.0.0.1/contractor/stripe_contractor_callback?scope=read_write&code=my_text_code

What am I missing?

EDIT

I've just noticed it will also not take me to a different page if I just type in a URL which I know if valid
