Please consider the following two websites that I am pinging as shown in the image below:
I have a google plus login icon where a user can click on it and can sign in using his/her google account.
My website where all the login code is residing is say for example xyztesting.com as shown in the image. And all the code related to xyztesting.com resides on the box 10.11.10.12 which has a domain name abctesting.com.
So, when i ping abctesting.com, I get Packets Sent and Received = 4 as shown in the image.
However, when I ping xyztesting.com , I get Request timed out as shown in the image below.
Does anyone knows whether this could be the reason behind why I am getting Redirect URI Mismatch error 400 error whenever a user tries to log in using google plus ?
I have ensured that the REDIRECt URI in the request matches the Registered Redirect URIs which is the most common message displayed when some one encounters this error and this is the most common fix suggested online everywhere.
I have referred to lot of previous related posts, including this one where they talks about making sure that the request URI's should match the registered URI on google developer console.
I have got a feeling that since there is not a dedicated box/server for my website xyztesting.com, google is thowing such error. Please let me know if anyone has experienced such type of error with the situation I have described above?
Sometimes, the redirect uri should be set to "postmessage" not the actual uri.
The documentation is not so clear on that setting.

I want to publish my first Facebook application and a Privacy Policy URL is required.
I have the page privacypolicy.html published in my website but I get the next message when I configure it in "App Details":
You must submit a valid Privacy Policy URL in order to be compliant with Facebook Platform. Request failed with error:
Bad Response Code: URL returned a bad HTTP response code.
The http code returned when I request the page is 200
Any ideas?
The URL is cached by facebook.
Adding # at the end of my Url did the job ..
This is an old question I know, but I figured I'd post my solution and hope it helps anyone. For me I got this error because I had rewrite rules that didn't catch the URL that Facebook actually goes to in order to get the privacy policy. Facebook adds a query string to the URL that you give it for the privacy policy and since my privacy policy page doesn't do anything with the query string, I didn't check for it in my rewrite rule.
You can check out how Facebook scrapes the page you give it by going to Facebook's Sharing Debugger and putting your URL in the input bar. You can also see the last time that Facebook tried to scrape that URL and tell Facebook to try again once you've fixed any issues. This will get around the caching that was mentioned in user2390340's post.
Facebook externalhit appears to request via the ipv6 address published in DNS if there is one available and won't check on the ipv4 published in DNS.
If your website doesn't have ipv6 enabled it'll return a 404 or 500 and you'll get that error "Bad Response Code: URL returned a bad HTTP response code" for your Privacy Policy URL.
Edit:
Also noted that Facebook caches the URL, I was checking it and getting a "bad response code" error even though there was no hit from their UA in the access logs.
Adding ?stuff onto the end of the URL in the Privacy Policy field bypassed a cache and the access log hits showed up with 200 OK, allowing the URL to be saved.
Not sure if this is related to user2259887's comment about Facebook using IPV6 DNS. But after reading his comment, I was able to work around the validation issue by specifying an IP Address URL instead of using the host domain name URL.
This workaround will not work well if the site IP address is dynamic or change often.
I see that this question has been asked before but no solution has been provided.
I am getting nothing but 500 Internal Server Error since yesterday when I use following link:
http://apps.facebook.com/myappID
Yes, I already tried clearing up my cache & cookies so don't even bother asking me this. I have added my app link in the Canvas URL which should show up after I click on the app URL but nothing but that 500 HTTP error. I tried on all browsers and even asked few of my friends too and they said same error.
I thought it was an error on Facebook but I don't see how it's not being fixed for a day now.
Any help? Thank you.
The 500 Internal Server Error is a very general HTTP status code that means something has gone wrong on the web site's server but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is.
So its a "server-side" error, meaning the problem is not with your PC or Internet connection but instead is a problem with the web site's server.
Maybe you should contact facebook help center.
I just ran into a similar situation and found that when I reduced the limit in my GET call to 20 rather than 500 the server responded well.

I tried a very simple helloworld example facebook app. Basically I have a webpage, only contains one file index.php, which only contains one line: echo "helloworld". I have registered this app as an facebook app, configured the setting, canvas url to http://mydomain/..
I can load the page mydomain/index.php. However, when I load the page http://apps.facebook.com/appid, I got the following error:
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL ...
I checked apache config, there is no or settings to prevent POST method.
Apache error log ad access log does not say anything.
Do you have any clue how to fix this?
Thanks for your kind help!
The first request a Facebook app makes is a POST request. It seems your server is not accepting them. A common problem is having something like:
http://mydomain.com/index.html
Instead of
http://mydomain.com/index.php
Either way check your HTTP logs you will probably see an error ( possibly 405 ) with more details.
I have just set up a custom tab on my page for the first time. I have thoroughly followed the setup guide and seem to have everything on the Facebook side setup correctly.
However when I view my page it throws the following error:
Method Not Allowed The requested method GET is not allowed for the
URL /Facebook/index.html. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was
encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the
request. Apache/1.3.41 Server at feebnaturals.com.au Port 80
I believe it may be some kind of Apache server config issue, however I'm not that Apache savvy, so not sure where to start.
I had the same problem, but instead of GET, it was POST method which was not allowed. This is a setting on your server. Not server savvy myself, but it seems that my provider didn't allow this method on html-page, but makes no problem on doing the same for php-pages. So all I did was rename my page from .html to .php, updated the app settings in facebook and all works fine now.
This is definitely an error on your side, check your server logs and see what they say - it looks like you've configured the page to only work via a POST request and it's being requested in a GET request
i'm developing an application for blackbery, i'm displaying a webpage using Eclipse and net.rim.device.api.browser.field.* api when i click a submit buttom in a form i get this error "Unknown host http:80", can anyone helpme?
Don't know anything about Blackberries, but it looks like you're entering a URL where your program is only expecting a host name.
It sounds like form on the web page is not properly set up, causing the post action to post to an invalid URL. It would help if you included the app code and the form HTML.
In this 2005 forum thread people complain about getting that kind of error on their Blackberries.
I'm on the server side and I can see some Proxy servers trying to access my server with either HTTP/1.0 and no HTTP_HOST (which my app requires) or using the wrong HTTP_HOST.
For example, I am getting requests for widgets.twimg.com , www.google-analytics.com , servedby.jumpdisplay.com . My server doesn't host those domains so the response is obviously not any of the sites on the server, and instead I'm giving back an error.
So, it might be that your Blackberry is not providing the right HTTP_HOST to the server (or none at all) and the server doesn't know what to do with it.
To me, that's Blackberry (or whatever proxy that might exist between you and the server) 's fault.
