Hello all,

I am developing a basic application using RFacebook. The tutorial Im  
following is from  
[http://www.liverail.net/articles/2007/6/29/tutorial-on-developing-a-facebook-platform-application-with-ruby-on-rails](http://www.liverail.net/articles/2007/6/29/tutorial-on-developing-a-facebook-platform-application-with-ruby-on-rails)

After I develop the facebook app, and start the server and send a  
request to  
[http://127.0.0.1:3000/socialrecipe](http://127.0.0.1:3000/socialrecipe), it takes me to the facebook login  
page  
(as expected, so no issues up till here), but after I provide my login  
info,  
the browser continously sends a request to the following URL  
[http://127.0.0.1:3000/socialrecipe/?auth\_token=0898204e1d5fb8c11c4bb56f7f79cbc2](http://127.0.0.1:3000/socialrecipe/?auth_token=0898204e1d5fb8c11c4bb56f7f79cbc2)

with the value of auth\_toekn changing every second. Can anyone tell me  
whats  
wrong, or what mistake am I making here? Any help will be highly  
appreciated

–  
Regards

Haris G.

what did you set your session variable name to be? is it evaluating  
something like time every time it creates it, there by changing the  
session id

I did not do anything with the session variable. And by the way, sorry  
to  
have used the word “second” in my previous email, what I meant was that  
auth\_token is changing very frequently, and nothing useful happens. I  
dont  
think it has to do anything with time.
