Get Data from Secure Facebook.

[daPhyre]

Good afternoon.

I have developed an extension that retrieves data from the Facebook
page. Recently I discovered a problem, because if "Secure Facebook" is
enabled, my extension crashes with a login page and returns an error.

Is there a way that I can retrieve that data even if Secure Facebook
is enabled? Or, in case it's not posible, is there a way to know if
Secure Facebook is enabled, so I return a message saying that, instead
of an error?

Thank you!

If your extension is crashing (and I mean that the extension/renderer process is actually crashing, not an exception that simply breaks your code), then this is a Chrome issue and you should search for an existing issue at crbug.com, or file a new one if you do not find one at new.crbug.com and attach a reduce test case (an extension with some minimal code that reproduces the crash). Also, test your extension with the dev/canary channels to see if that it crashes there as well and report back.

Note - if it does not crash on the dev/canary channel, do not file a new issue - just report back.

Thank you!

Sorry, I might have explained myself wrong. By "crashing" I meant,
"Not achieving it's goal", sorry.

I'll explain better the case. My extension 'retrieves' information
from Facebook (Notifications, Messages & Requests) and displays them
in the badge. When Secure Facebook is not enabled, it works with no
problem, but if it is activated, I get in the Network tab a "Status:
302 Found", followed by a "Status: Cancelled" one millisecond later.

As far as I know, there is no way to retrieve this data from the API
or any alternative way, so this is the only way I can retrieve them.
If it works, the current version of the extension is at
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kgcbemnjmjdplnanhpjkmapflmbmoggm
.

I would be really thankful if you can help me with this!

302 Found is an HTTP redirect. Likely it is going to be http://www.facebook.com to https://facebook.com You can probably just switch to SSL for all requests and it will work for everyone.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I "switch to SSL"? I don't know
exactly what do you mean with that...

I though it was change the request with https, but it throws the same
error, so I guess It's something I don't know yet or something I'm
missing. Thank you!

I got it now. Yes, I just had to add the https version to the
manifest.json. Problem is that fisrt time I tried it, it didn't
worked. It did it just after I change the version (for somre reason),
so it didn't solved the problem then and I didn't understood what was
wrong with it until now. Thanks a lot for your time and sorry for
asking something quite simple in my ignorance. Thanks a lot!
