Authorization issues should be all cleaned up now.

[Dave Tompkins]

I think I've cleaned up most of the authorization issues.

As many are aware, facebook moved to OAuth and completely overhauled how many of the permissions work.

(since it was prompted by the Canadian government, I feel a little hypocritical for complaining... but just a little.)

My apologies to everyone who tried to work around it.

There are two new commands:

SHOWPERM :: shows you which permissions you've granted to fbcmd

http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/commands/showperm

ADDPERM :: launches a browser to add new permissions

http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/commands/addperm

As it is now, you can't get an AUTH code until you've granted basic access to fbcmd.

So the instructions are now as they are described on the app page:

Installation instructions:

• Step 0: install FBCMD
• Step 1: grant basic access [fbcmd go access]
• Step 2: generate AUTH code [fbcmd go auth]
• Step 3: enter auth code: fbcmd auth XXXXX
• Step 4: grant extended permissions [fbcmd addperm]

really, you can do step 5 at the same time as step 1, but I think this will be a little less intimidating.

for existing users...
[WARNING: update is broken for windows users without openssl... so currently working windows users hold off for now]

if you want to start fresh / test the new procedure:

a) make sure you're on beta5 or later [fbcmd update]

b) go to your http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications app page and 'remove app' for command line

c) confirm your old session key doesn't work anymore: [fbcmd whoami]

d) follow steps 1-5 above
