If you have the Save Surfing setting in your account settings in Facebook set

  • 0

If you have the Save Surfing setting in your account settings in Facebook set to unsecured, you notice you use Facebook via HTTP. Of course if you set it to On, you surf via HTTPS.

Now all Facebook apps are using HTTPS since Facebook doesn’t allow apps to use HTTP since October 2011. But if a user (with no HTTPS on their Facebook account) wants to visit the Secured HTTPS App it just gives an empty page.

Is this a bug from Facebook, or?

    That’s not true.

    All canvas/page tab apps must offer the option to be accessed via HTTPS – but should offer HTTP as well.

    But if a user (with no HTTPS on there Facebook account) wants to visit the Secured HTTPS App it just gives an empty page. Is this a bug from Facebook, or?

    No, this is an error on your (resp. the app developers) part – in the app settings, there should be URLs set for both HTTP and HTTPS.

    If that’s the case, then a user browsing Facebook via HTTP has no problem accessing the app as well.
