Facebook Developers

here are some sample failures:

rest server: http://api.new.facebook.com/restserver.php
api call: facebook.profile.setFBML
curl error: 52 (CURLE_GOT_NOTHING)

rest server: http://api.new.facebook.com/restserver.php
api call: facebook.feed.publishTemplatizedAction
curl error: 52 (CURLE_GOT_NOTHING)

rest server: http://api.new.facebook.com/restserver.php
api call: facebook.notifications.send
curl error: 52 (CURLE_GOT_NOTHING)

Here's my error; I'm getting it 100% of the time over the last hour on my main account, but not my developer test account:

Application: SmugFoto

1. The library you're using: Facebook Developer Tookit 2.0 RC2
2. The exact calls that are failing: Me.Master.API.profile.setFBML(CType(Me.Master.ownerInfo.uid, Long), Nothing, profilebox, Nothing)
3. How the calls are failing: (error 500) An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
4. Whether the calls are to api.new.facebook.com or api.facebook.com (not sure, what the facebook developer tookit 2.0 RC2 is using)

Hello Everyone,
   I am a newbie and started working on a sample facebook application a week ago. I am trying to execute the sample facebook application that displays the friend list. I am using facebook 2.0 and .NET 3.0. The application is of type windows forms.
When i try to execute the program it generates an invalid seesion key exception at line
     friendList1.Friends = facebookService1.friends.getUserObjects();

So then i switched to facebook tool kit 1.0 and .NET 2.0 now it throws a NULL exception at line
    friendList1.Friends = FacebookService1.GetFriends();

can any one please let me know why the above happens?

Finally i have two questions.
1. Does the above facebook application be hosted on some website to see the results for the above sample app?
2. i set the Callback URL to
    http://localhost:3243/testFBapp

and my project in .NET is named as testFBapp. can you please let me know if i configured the callback URL right? Also please let me know the significance of 3243 in the call back URL. looks like its some kind of port no, but i randomly assigned it while deciding on the callback URL.

I would greatly appreciate for any information on this issue, i have already spent a week experimenting with different versions of Facebook toolkit

Thanks a lot,
Raghu.

One doubt, what windows form got to do with local host?

I never used any tool kit for my application. So my wild guess would be your session key is empty or invalid.

Hello Every One,
  I having problem getting even the simple example running. This is my current set up.
1. ASP.NET 2.0
2. Facebook toolkit 1.0
IIS 5.0

and iam developing the application as an ASP.NET website application.

I created a simple application names: testbookappraghu and configured the URLs as
Canvas Callback URL
    http://localhost:4294/testbookappraghu/default.aspx
Canvas URL
    http://apps.facebook.com/testbookappraghu/

created a virtual directory on IIS named testbookappraghu and linked to my Visual studio project folder named testbookappraghu.

Finally the application is nothing but the very basic example that retrieves and display's friend list.
When execute this program it crashes at line

FriendList1.Friends = _fbService.GetFriends();

and throws an error message that says

Requested value '1Ringtorule'emall,1Ringtofind'em,1Ringtobring'emall&inthedarknessbind'em!!!' was not found.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Requested value '1Ringtorule'emall,1Ringtofind'em,1Ringtobring'emall&inthedarknessbind'em!!!' was not found.


I also tried developing it as a desktop application but ended up getting the same error.

I would greatly appreciate if some one could help me debug this problem.
I have already spent about a month trying to get this very simple example running.

Thanks a lot,
Raghu.

This is a very old thread you posted to. But yes, I've seen a number of different issues today. Including getting Facebook messages about "Page not found" when trying to go to an app. After enough tries it works and it's intermittent.
I'm also getting more invalid session errors, even though it's on a page with require_login.

Error: "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

I use Nikhil's .net implementation of the API: http://www.nikhilk.net/FacebookNET.aspx

Any idea?
