Hello,

I have a problem with an application using facebooker plugin that  
works fine locally using Mongrel but breaks in fastcgi production  
environment.

I am using the authlogic\_facebook\_connect plugin with  
facebook\_skip\_new\_user\_creation true so that I can have the user sign  
up with real email, or check email hash to see if they are already in  
the system.

The following code snippet isolates the problem I am facing:

before\_filter :set\_facebook\_session  
def dummy  
raise “no facebook session” if facebook\_session.nil?  
if facebook\_session  
user = facebook\_session.user  
if user  
emails = facebook\_session.user.email\_hashes  
if emails  
raise emails.inspect  
else  
raise “no dice”  
end  
else  
raise “no facebook user”  
end  
end  
end

When it gets to the “emails = facebook\_session.user.email\_hashes”  
line, it throws a SystemExit error. Here is the relevant portion of  
the stack trace:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/fcgi\_handler.rb:

Looks like it’s having a problem making a curl request to facebook.  
Mind you, this is after facebook has already connected. Any ideas  
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,  
DF

Problem solved. A patch to the facebooker plugin’s curl\_service.rb  
file did the trick.
