Login through facebook fails about django-social-auth

[maraujop]

I have been reviewing the app's code and Facebook's oauth process and it looks like this is not a django-social-auth bug, it is a Facebook's bug. As I said before my Site URL is correct, the way you send the redirect_url is correct too, but I get to:

http://127.facebook.com/complete/facebook/?code=....

instead of:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/facebook/?code=....

If I had a wrong redirect_url sent I would get this:

{
   "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
   }
}

But I'm not, so this is one of those problems related to Facebook's love machine, that one that turn's dev's hate and desperation into love :)

Anyways, you might be interested in mentioning this in the README, so others don't think something is broken when testing locally.

Best regards,

Hi,

I think Facebook doesn't accept 127.0.0.1 as a redirect url config, instead what I do is setup myapp.com as redirect url and then edit my /etc/hosts file to map:

127.0.0.1 myapp.com

This is just for testing purposes and should be changed to correct site URL once it's deployed, also helps to have a development Facebook app.

I'll close the report because there's no bug on the app, but we can keep discussing it.

I didn't know that, but I find it out after debugging the process. I think you should mention this somewhere in the README.

I was going to close it, but I wanted you to read it :) Thanks

Great app, great developer! If you keep the pace, this will be the most popular social app for Django. I'm recommending it everywhere :)

Thanks for the kind words :D

Yeah, spread the word, that will make this app even better.

Thanks,
