Facebooker talk - Oct 2008 - profile_session_key from profile tabs

Hi all,

I see these params from facebook on a tab:

{"fb_sig_in_profile_tab"=>"1",
 "fb_sig_profile_user"=>"1559509589",
 "fb_sig_time"=>"1224601699.3553",
 "format"=>"fbml",
 "fb_sig_in_new_facebook"=>"1",
 "fb_sig"=>"df9a509db691ac17da036b01202dc252",
 "fb_sig_locale"=>"en_US",
 "fb_sig_profile_session_key"=>"1:pEI5qu-68agmwp0lpabWl0vGIUmZBwkyRecQDB_ZjxxnZGcUGyHiG3vm1bYspm0k-1559509589",
 "_method"=>"GET",
 "fb_sig_in_canvas"=>"1",
 "fb_sig_request_method"=>"GET",
 "fb_sig_expires"=>"1224601759",
 "fb_sig_friends"=>"1282166695,
1542500342",
 "fb_sig_added"=>"1",
 "fb_sig_api_key"=>"9e5442026f33f426c611bd968d028006",
 "fb_sig_profile_update_time"=>"0"}

And I also get nothing back from this:

grep -R ''profile_session_key'' vendor/plugins/facebooker/

Which seems to explain why I can''t get a session from facebooker on
tabs, it only looks for session_key, not profile_session_key.  Does this
seem accurate?  I''m working on some code to create a session from a tab
right now, I''ll post it when it''s wrapped.  Just looking to
see if I''m
headed in the right direction.

Thanks guys!

The profile session is quite different from a normal session. It is  
read only and tied to the owner of the tab. Since the semantics are  
completely different from a normal session, we don''t automatically  
create one. It might make sense to make a facebook_tab_session  
available or something similar.

Any opinions?
