The problem I am facing is that after I authorize my app for current user using
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/ (client-side flow)
I can’t setup a XMPP connection as I need to know session key to access it. When using server-based flow, the session properties are being sent as a part of access token. And I didn’t find a way to get the session key for my oAuth based authentication client-side flow.
Please suggest how can I get it.

I’m doing all requests from javascript (Google Chrome extension).

    Facebook is actually deprecating the session key. They have just recently (a couple days after you posted the question i believe) updated their authentication method to no longer require the session key. If for whatever reason you still need it you can get it by looking up the auth.promote_session method in the REST API, but that is deprecated and will be removed come October.

    If you check https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ you should find that the access token will get you what you need now.
