[Facebooker-talk] link_to_remote with 401 error code

[Tres Wong-Godfrey]

link_to_remote works -- in the sense that it will pass data to the  
server; however, the parameters for the original question were to use  
Facebook authentication. Your solution bypasses the Facebook AJAX  
proxy and also authentication -- which I believe the original question  
already implies knowledge of.

If you can use link_to_remote through Facebook's AJAX proxy, then this  
is something new & I was unable to use during months of development  
with facebooker.
