Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/issues/245

After authenticating an Instagram account, the redirect goes to a Instagram generated 404 page. Was something changed in the Instagram API update that broke this flow?

This is what the URL looks like:
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=*******&redirect_uri=linksit://oauth-callback/instagram&response_type=code&scope=basic&state=INSTAGRAM

This is the implementation in my code:

 let oauthswift = OAuth2Swift(
            consumerKey:    "******",
            consumerSecret: "*****",
            authorizeUrl:   "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize",
            responseType:   "code"
        )
        oauthswift.authorize_url_handler = SafariURLHandler(viewController: parentView)

        oauthswift.authorizeWithCallbackURL(
            NSURL(string: "linksit://oauth-callback/instagram")!,
            scope: "basic", state:"INSTAGRAM",
            success: { credential, response, parameters in
                completion(access_token: credential.oauth_token)
            },
            failure: { error in
                print(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        )

OS targeted (with version): 9.2
OAuth provider: Instagram
OAuthSwift version: pod 'OAuthSwift', '~> 0.5.0'

Looks like it was because I was asking for a responseType of code not token.
