[Facebooker-talk] link_to_remote with 401 error code

[Mike Mangino]

Link to remote with a direct server path used to use the facebook  
proxy. Facebook would re-write the request to go through their  
servers. It would then include the sig parameters. You can call  
facebook_session_parameters to get a list of those params for  
inclusion in your URL.
