Favicon not showing when I send the link in a text message, WhatsApp, iMessage, etc - favicon

I have a site in webflow. I password protected the entire site. Webflow redirects you to the 401 page to enter the password.
The problem is when I text someone the link it shows as a broken or invalid link resulting in my favicon not showing with the link.
When you click the link it actually works but it reads as a /401 page instead of the homepage. Im trying to avoid creating my own password protection when webflow has it already built.
I attached a screenshot below showing me text my link to myself then I resent it after I removed the password protection and my favicon showed up.

This url has been identified as malicious and/or abusive

I`m a developer of Facebook login app for website. When I'm trying to save changes in my Facebook web-application settings, getting this error "Site URL has been been identified as malicious and/or abusive." I can't save anything while field "Site URL" contains my domain name. What am I supposed to do?
Go to facebook.com . Try to share the url. You will get a dialog saying the url is bad and in the button there will be a link if you don't agree and you want to report it.
simple solution is to disable facebook button, so that facebvook change their aggressive globalism political tactic of changing their ways for developers constantly forcing to change their code, like google does with google login.
Other solution is to, according to:

First go to:
https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/
and check if your URL appears as non safe or as Untested
Click on reclassify --> url reclassification request

Access Denied from aweber redirect

One of my pages in my domain is set up as a redirect from aweber, so when I confirm on the link on an email optin from aweber it redirects to this page MyPage.html and includes a welcome message with the name I signed up with.
Now granted I am not sure if this is something to do with aweber set up for redirect although it's very easy to do (basically paste the URL in settings you want to redirect to) and I have double/triple checked it. I also contacted aweber support who said it can be the javascript for personalisation embedded in the Head section of the redirect page that can cause this error. I have removed this code and can confirm it is not the javascript or redirect causing it hence my appearance here.
I also have another portion of the site using this redirect and personalisation and it works fine.
Now when I click on the link in my email from aweber it gives me this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mypage.html on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an >ErrorDocument to handle the request.
And the redirect URL is below so I can see it is redirecting with my details ok but failing to give me access to the page.
mysite.com/mypage.html?email=myemail%40yahoo.co.uk&from=myemail%40yahoo.co.uk&meta_adtracking=my_web_site&meta_message=1001&name=MyName&unit=MyAweberListName&add_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.MySite.com%2FthankyouPage.html&add_notes=xx.xx.xx.xxx
All my pages have access permission 644 and the page is a copy of one of my other pages, which works fine, I've not added anything, changed anything, only removed text lines and graphics.
I just also tried remaking the landing page and it failed once more. Funnily enough though when I manually type the page into the URL bar up it comes; this worked before with the original page as well!
This works:
mysite.com/mypage.html
This [redirect] doesn't and gives the error described above
mysite.com/mypage.html?email=myemail%40yahoo.co.uk&from=myemail%40yahoo.co.uk&meta_adtracking=my_web_site&meta_message=1001&name=MyName&unit=MyAweberListName&add_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.MySite.com%2FthankyouPage.html&add_notes=xx.xx.xx.xxx
Any ideas on getting to the bottom of this would be greatly appreciated.

How to send a Facebook page as url using the Facebook send button?

I will try to explain a bit the context for my problem.
Context:
A while ago I started working on Facebook application. One of the requirements is to be included in a Facebook page as a tab. This application will contain on a page a send button in order to be able to make it more engaging with specific people, users of the application would choose on their own. The reason behind this is because the Facebook page containing the application is related to alcohol, and "liking" the application will get more audition and potential children. Another reason for using send button rather then other similar options from Facebook (like send dialog etc.) is because in Facebook documentation was stated that send button works on mobile devices and other options don't.
Problem:
My problem is related to the send button. What I need is to be able to completely configure the send button: url, image, title, description. I have research the open graph tags in order to be able to do this. Everything works fine if the page I want to be sent with the message is a website OUTSIDE Facebook. Once I started to use the url of a Facebook page (let's call it www.facebook.com/mycustompage), then the crawler takes the images, title, description from facebook.com ignoring the actual page and the produced message is not what I want.
I have searched a lot to better understand this limitation and could not find anything relevant.
The only article I could find as a potential solution was (and even this I had trouble finding):
Send button returning error codes, like button works fine
The above discussion is a workaround which I have already put in place but is not 100% what I want. The described workaround is about putting in the send button:
<div class="fb-send" data-href="http://www.mycustomdomain.com/og"></div>
a page that sniffs the user agent. In case the user agent is Facebook crawler to serve an html empty page just with the open graph tags, otherwise redirect to the desired URL - which in our case is the facebook page www.facebook.com/mycustompage.
The message produced contains:
the title which is a link to www.mycustomdomain.com/og which when
clicked opens a page in a new tab with the address
www.facebook.com/mycustompage - this is relatively ok
under the title I have a "sub-title" readonly text containing the domain of the link: www.mycustomdomain.com - THIS IS NOT OK since I don't want to share where I have hosted the application.
the image and the desired description - this is ok.
Conclusion:
What I want to know if there is a better way to do this rather than this workaround.
If not I would like to know how I can hide for the produced message the "sub-title" so that the hosted domain is not visible.

URLs redirect to spyware site

We are developing an app that makes posts on behalf of our users to Facebook. Within those posts, we want to put links to external (non-Facebook) websites.
Looking at the links in the status bar of the browser (usually Chrome), the correct URL is displayed. However, Facebook seems to wrap the actually-clicked link into some extra bells-and-whistles. Usually, this works correctly.
Sometimes, however, this URL wrapping ends up sending the click to a URL like:
http: //spywaresite.info/0/go.php?sid=2
(added space to make it non-browsable!) which generates Chromes severe warning message:
This happens very occasionally on Chrome, but very much more often in the iOS browser on the iPhone.
Does anyone have any pointers as to how to deal with this?
EDIT
For example, the URLs we put in the link is
http://www.example.com/some/full/path/somewhere
but the URL that actually gets clicked is:
http://platform.ak.fbcdn.net/www/app_full_proxy.php?app=374274329267054&v=1&size=z&cksum=fc1c17ed464a92bc53caae79e5413481&src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fsome%2Ffull%2Fpath%2Fsomewhere
There seems to be some JavaScript goodness in the page that unscrambles that and usually redirects correctly.
EDIT2
The links above are put on the image and the blue text to the right of the image in the screenshot below.
Mousing over the links (or the image) in the browser shows the correct link. Right-clicking on the link and selecting "Copy Link Address" gets the fbcdn.net link above (or one like it). Actually clicking on the link seems to set off some JavaScript processing of the fbcdn.net link into the right one... but sometimes that processing fails.
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking here, but i'll tell you what I know:- are you referring to this screen on Facebook?
(or rather, the variation of that screen which doesn't allow clickthrough?)
If you manually send a user to facebook.com/l.php?u=something they'll always see that message - it's a measure to prevent an open redirector
if your users are submitting such links, including the l.php link, you'll need to extract the destination URL (in the 'u' parameter)
If you're seeing the l.php URLs come back from the API this is probably a bug.
If links clicked on facebook.com end up on the screen it's because facebook have detected the link as suspicious (e.g. for URL redirector sites - the screen will allow clickthrough but warn the user first) or malicious/spammy (will not allow clickthrough)
In your app you won't be able to post links to the latter (an error will come back saying the URL is blocked), and the former may throw a captcha sometimes (if you're using the Feed dialog, this should be transparent to the app code, the user will enter the captcha and the dialog will return as normal)
If this isn't exactly what you were asking about please clarify and i'll update my answer
Rather than add to the question, I thought I'd put more details here.
It looks like the Facebook mention in the original title was mis-directed, so I've removed it.
We still haven't got to the bottom of the issue.
However, we used both Wireshark and Fiddler to look at the HTTP traffic between the Chrome browser (on the PC) and Facebook. Both showed that Facebook was returning the correct URL refresh.
Here's what Wireshark showed:
What we saw on Fiddler was that our server is issuing a redirect to the spywaresite.info site:
We are working with our ISP to figure out what is happening here.

Facebook "Like" button encoding

I've put like button on joomla site with cyrillic text:
http://womanew.kz/index.php/2011-10-22-01-42-12/2011-11-01-05-34-04/147-2011-11-07-06-22-02
When I push like button facebook's scraper incorrectly encodes the page.
Also I've created static test html page equal to this URL (http://womanew.kz/test.html), and it scrapes well.
All two pages have equal content, but the problem page is generated from Joomla PHP script.
Also I've noticed that scraper reencodes not full document (it keeps head block unchanged), please see its "See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL" debuging page on facebook.
What can I do to struggle this problem?
When I did this I use this manual and didn't have such problem. This is for Joomla website:
1.Go to the Facebook developer page here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box
2.Enter the page number (found in your Facebook page URL) of your Facebook page.
3.If you don't have one, go to Facebook Create Page wizard and create a Brand >> Website page for your site.
4.Enter the height (typically 400 pixels) that you want for the Like widget
5.Click the Get Code button to generate the Facebook Code.
6.Open the Joomla Administrator on your site
7.Navigate to the Module Manager
8.Click the New button
9.Select Custom HTML
10.Paste the code into the HTML box (make sure the editor is turned off).
11.Give the module a name
12.Click the Hide Title radio button
13.Select the Module Position where you want the widget to appear
14.Click Save
Also, take a look at http://www.abolkog.com/portal/tutorials-how-to/100-how-to-add-a-facebook-like-box-to-your-joomla-site
Hope, it will help you!
I've found a bug in the site. One of joomla's modules was truncating UTF-8 strings in byte boundaries and this was created one-byte bug character in the page, after this character scraper starts using incorrect encoding.
