Facebook - OAuth Token - redirect_uri - not an absolute URL

... but this!

I call the facebook API with the following link to get the access token:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=myclientid&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.org%3A8080%2FServer%2FFacebookAuthenticationVerificationServlet&scope=manage_notifications,offline_access,read_mailbox,readstream

What am I doing wrong?

Facebook responds with the following error:

message: redirect_uri isn't an absolute URI. Check RFC 3986. type: OAuthException code: 191

It should have nothing to do with this, but I use java URLEncode.encode () to encode the URL in UTF-8. I compared the result with that of JavaScript encodeURIComponent () and did not find any difference.

EDIT: Should I install the domain in my configuration? I cannot find it in the “Application Domains” (because facebook does not allow me to add domains there with the port configuration), but I set the domain as “My Site URL”.

EDIT2: Unencoded redirect uri: http://mydomain.org:8080/Server/FacebookAuthenticationVerificationServlet

EDIT3: This has nothing to do with: 8080. I tested it with php-script (the URL was like bla.domain.org/myphp.php) and sent the PHP code to the tomcat server, but the error persisted.

Well, it turned out that I misunderstood the OAuth protocol. I extracted the authorizationCode code so that THEN binds me to the accessToken.

But I could not fix this error in a specific. I just reworked the procedure and implemented the autcode and sharing access tokens, and now it works fine.

Maybe unauthorize the application and re-authorize it @facebook, fix it?

Facebook Error Code 191 -

API Error Code: 191

API Error Description: The specified URL does not belong to the application

Error message: redirect_uri does not belong to the application.

Make sure mydomain.org is in the "Application Domains" field and that the login box for the Website with Facebook is correct.

You should not encode redirect_uri. http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.org not understood as http://mydomain.org
