fb-canvas-rails

This is a sample Facebook Canvas App built with Ruby on Rails 3.2. It demonstrates workarounds, fixes and hacks to solve some of the most frequently encountered problems with Facebook Canvas applications.

Features

• Fixes broken back button in IFrame (uses PushState for smart browsers, and window.top.location for IE)
• Handles disabled 3rd party cookies gracefully (ie: maintain session even when cookies are disabled)
• Properly sets the P3P header for Internet Explorer
• Handles Facebook's signed_request POST transparently
• OAuth Authentication
• Sends CSRF token with AJAX requests
• CJAX script to for PushState. CJAX uses History.js under the hood and was heavily influenced by History.js and PJAX.
