I am trying to use link_to_remote to send ajax request to my server, where my
code looks like:
<%= link_to_remote( image_tag(?image?),
:update => div_id,
:url => my_url(post, :canvas => false),
:method => :get,
:html => {:class => ?button?},
:before => ?$(?spinner?).show()?,
:complete => ?$(?spinner?).hide()?
) %>
However,
since canvas is false, facebook doesn?t send authorization the
facebooker filters rejects the request with 401 error. I don?t want to
skip ensure_authenticated_to_facebook filter, but how do I fix this?
Thanks.

[Facebooker-talk] link_to_remote with 401 error code
link_to_remote doesn''t work with Facebooker. You can use remote_form_for and some CSS magic to get the same outcome.

link_to_remote works just fine. You need to make sure that the URL you are hitting is a fully qualified url since the facebook API doesn''t play nice with AJAX calls. The URL should be hitting your app directly. On Sat, Jan 3, 2009 at 5:26 PM, Tres Wong-Godfrey < tres.wong-godfrey at saniq.com> wrote:> > link_to_remote doesn''t work with Facebooker.

[Facebooker-talk] link_to_remote with 401 error code
link_to_remote works -- in the sense that it will pass data to the server; however, the parameters for the original question were to use Facebook authentication. Your solution bypasses the Facebook AJAX proxy and also authentication -- which I believe the original question already implies knowledge of. If you can use link_to_remote through Facebook''s AJAX proxy, then this is something new & I was unable to use during months of development with facebooker.

Link to remote with a direct server path used to use the facebook proxy. Facebook would re-write the request to go through their servers. It would then include the sig parameters. You can call facebook_session_parameters to get a list of those params for inclusion in your URL.
