Facebooker talk - May 2008 - facebooker, respond_to and firefox 3 beta5/pre

Hi there,

I have a controller that responds to fbml and html, with html at the  
top.

In all browsers, this works as expected - When I''m hitting the  
controller from my normal app, I get html. When I hit it inside  
facebook, I get fbml.

However, with Firefox 3 hitting the normal app, I''m getting fbml for  
some odd reason.

Am I crazy?

Sudara

Hey Sudara,

I currently have this implemented for one of my apps and I don''t see
this
problem in Firefox 3.

Can you post some code?  And the pieces of the log?

You don''t have caching turned on do you?

Dave

Wow, so I''m trippen out.

The answer:

removed:
Mime::Type.register ''text/html'', :fbml

added:
Mime::Type.register_alias ''text/html'', :fbml

Every request works as it now should.

I''ve been poking around in vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/ 
action_controller/mime_type.rb to try and determine what the heck  
would make Firefox behave so uniquely.

Then again, I should have register_alias''d to begin with, no?

Funny thing is, it was working like a breeze until Firefox 3. Must  
have *something* to do with the accept headers it sends?

anywho, I couldn''t find much Documentation about registering the fbml  
alias, but maybe we can throw a gotcha note in there.

I''m using respond_to and serving facebook and a normal app from the  
same action / controller.

I added it a long time ago, but I just double checked - without  
explicitly adding it the format.fbml calls fail with a MimeType error.

In fact, I half-assumed this would be in facebooker by now (the adding  
of the mime type) since following convention, it basically allows  
facebooker to work out of the box with respond_to

I keep it safely tucked in config/initializers/mime_types.rb

This is what I am saying ... I currently use facebooker without respond_to,
I just name my views correctly and it works fine.

apps.faceboor.com/meemcloud/privacy

and

www.meemcloud.com/privacy

Hit the same action.



I haven''t looked into the code yet to see what making this work.  I am
not
on RC1 though.

Wow!

Facebooker sets the format based on the incoming params, saying "ok it  
is fbml" if it carries familiar facebook params - it makes sense that  
falling through the controller rails would nail the right format.erb.

I like respond_to as an idiom though. I often am responding to html,  
js, xml, rss and facebook within the same action, preparing instance  
variables slightly differently for each. It seems that  
MimeType.register_alias is really built for these kinds of situations,  
where the actual mime type is the same, but we get the respond_to  
sugar to organize the controller.

thanks for the help! I''m still miffed about the Firefox thing, but  
heck, it''s working now.

Wow, so I''m trippen out.

The answer:

removed:
Mime::Type.register ''text/html'', :fbml

added:
Mime::Type.register_alias ''text/html'', :fbml

Every request works as it now should.

I''ve been poking around in
vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/mime_type.rb to try and
determine what the heck would make Firefox behave so uniquely.

Then again, I should have register_alias''d to begin with, no?

Funny thing is, it was working like a breeze until Firefox 3. Must have
*something* to do with the accept headers it sends?

anywho, I couldn''t find much Documentation about registering the fbml
alias,
but maybe we can throw a gotcha note in there.
