Hello! I want to write an extention with chrome that authenticates the user with the Facebook API and gets a session key back. Now this is not possible AFAIK with the current Facebook JS library, as it requires a CDCC ( http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Cross_Domain_Communication ) - which is something a server uses as opposed to a client side plugin.
Luckily Facebook are creating a new Javascript library that does not need a CDC Channel - http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/JavaScript_SDK_(Open_Source). This looks perfect to my needs, and the examples look simple. However it doesn't quite work as advertised. I tried this code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html><body><div id="fb-root"></div> <div id="response">No response so far</div> <script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect/en_US/core.js";></ script> <script> FB.init({ apiKey: 'a3b4b51b7fb8b59401d1b0f2505cd601', cookie: true}); FB.login(function(response) { if (response.session) { document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = 'we got a response' } else { // user cancelled login document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = 'failed' } }); </script></body></html> Which should in theory open a little popup window to facebook.com/ login.php. However in practice it does not - Chrome opens a window (of the right size) with an error: "The webpage at chrome-extension://www.facebook.com/login.php? api_key=a3b4b51b7fb8b5940etcetc might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address". Basically a 404 error. The URL is right, but its looking for an internal page. As far as I can tell I have allowed www.facebook.com/* and api.facebook.com/* in the permissions field of the manifest file.
