Hi guys,

I’m just getting started with facebooker. I got a nasty problem. Every  
request redirects to facebook for authentication because i have included  
ensure\_authenticated\_to\_facebook and oce the authentication is over I’m  
redirected back to the callback URL. The original requested URL is lost.  
I suspected of not using DB sessions, but I’m using DB as the session  
store.

Please help me out. How do I avoid redirects?
