Facebook OAuth redirect problem

A bit of reference from facebook developer page

Here is my question.. All the redirections are done followed the instructions above to the letter the fb server returns a acsess token in a plain unformatted string. Whi开发者_StackOverflow社区ch would be fine if i was doing a desktop app or iPhone but, it's a browser centric app. any ides why https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token doesn't redirect?

why, https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token does give a redirect in a web application, just mention your url in redirect_uri =

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=...&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/oauth_redirect

If this is not what you asked , please be little specific in your question

yes oauth always send redirection to your mentioned url http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/#authenticating-users-in-a-web-application

Apparently when this is by design, which is not clever on Facebook's part, anyways instead of redirecting again you could use WebClient to do the request your self to get the oauth token, if anyone else is wondering.
