any help would be great
here is the link to the app

Your page doesn't have secure version served over HTTPS, so it fails for everyone who use "Secure Browsing" option on Facebook.
NOTE: SSL certificate is a requirement as of October 2011.
Firefox gives the following message regarding your SSL certificate when trying to connect to https://www.exoticsworld.co.uk/?fb_source=search&ref=ts:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.exoticsworld.co.uk.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
So see to it that you’l get that fixed. Ask your server admin (or whoever installed that certificate for you), if you don’t know what this is all about.

I'm using a self generated SSL certificate on my localhost IIS and pointed my facebook sercure Iframe app URL to https:\localhost but just get a blank page.
when browsing to it not within FB, it gives me the cert warning and then after i add it as an exception, it goes through to the site fine.
using http:\localhost for the non-secure url works fine
any ideas why i'm getting the blank page?
As I know FB checks your certificate and if it not valid it just wont load your app in the iframe. You can try this service that seams to be intended to exactly this kind of problems: http://www.social-server.com/.
Don't stress if you can't afford an SSL certificate for Facebook's SSL migration...
...Use this FREE service to adapt your Facebook pages so that it's viewable over an HTTPS connection.
So, for whatever reason, some people can't see the custom facebook page tab. Not sure why, especially when I can see it just fine.

Let me know if you need more info.
Do you have a https version of the page tab? If they're account always uses ssl and you don't you might run into issues. Other times I've seen resetting the app secret help with issues like this.
It shows a standard browser error page to me. "This webpage is not available Google Chrome's connection attempt to incontrolwebsites.com was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
May it be possible you didn't upload the webpage to the production server?
If it opens correctly from your machine: check that you don't have a custom DNS setting to point to your local webserver instead of the production server.
Two weeks ago i bought a SSL Certificate for my domain. I have an app in Facebook and for Safari works fine but in Chrome the following message appears:
"Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Error desconocido."
I have set the "Secure Canvas URL" in the configuration of the app in Facebook.
What's the problem?
I have just checked it out in Internet Explorer and Firefox and works fine.
In both browsers enter the game directly.
With respect the Certificate and app settings, the certificate is valid for www and the domain, and in app setting i just typed the domain name.
Well, the function from Facebook that arise the problem is:
FB.Canvas.setAutoResize();
I hope this could be helpful.
It is a known problem that Chrome handles this less elegant: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=87957
But that does not take away the fact that it should work with a valid certificate. Can you checn with a few other browsers, like IE and Firefox? Please get back when those give any indication of the underlying problem.
This problem happens to me for my app, but only on Chrome on Ubuntu (Chrome on Windows 7 is fine, and Firefox [version 13 at the moment] on Ubuntu is fine), and it only happens when secure browsing is forced on in Facebook (Account settings > Security > Secure browsing). By unchecking Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible, I no longer receive this problem.
Please downvote this answer (a lot, hahaha), because telling users to use a different operating system or to turn off secure browsing is not going to be received well! I'll report back if I come up with a real solution.
What's the problem?
Your SSL cert is invalid or not configured properly. This can happen for example when you use your domain with www in app settings, while the cert is ussued on a domain without www, etc. It can be something else misconfigured also.
I know it´s an old Thread but I just got a similar problem when facing some Free Hosts that uses shared SSL cert instead of Custom Domain Certs. On setting up your Canvas App, on "Secure Canvas URL", use the URL provided by the HOST instead of your custom URL.
Ex: If your host is openshift, they give an URL similar to -> php-blablabla.rhcloud.com. Use this one instead of blablabla.com (which would be the domain you paid for).
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers.
I have a Facebook page, but I dont have a SSL with me, so its always with the HTTP connection. So when I open the App Page (Canvas), I get an error within the iFrame Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error. which is obvious due to the FB calling for HTTPS version of the page. But I noticed that some pages ask for "Switch to Regular HTTP Connection" to view the page. I was wondering how to do that, I googled a lot but couldn't find the relevant information.
Thanks
Do you have a url set for https on your app's settings page? You should leave it blank if you don't have a valid SSL page yet, and then it should give you the prompt to switch to regular http. However, you will want to get an SSL certificate soon as Facebook is recommending users switch to always-on SSL and at some point SSL may be the only option.
"Switch to Regular HTTP Connection" is limited to admins (at least without so many scary warnings) so it's important that you get an SSL connection running if you're going to have an app on FB now.
I've recently Discovered the following error because the SSL was expired.
This webpage is not available
The webpage at https://example.com/facebook/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error.
Renewed the SSL and all fixed
i am making a facebook tab which using iframe to show the tab content from other url. Everything work fine but when users use secure http connection (https) the tab no longer loads and shows error saying page not secure.
The pages that the iframe showing is not using ssl. Do i need to have a ssl to show the page in secure connection or i have to change some setting in facebook?
You will need to buy an SSL certificate, make sure it is properly installed on your server, and make sure your the page is properly working over SSL (no warnings). Once this is setup, plug the SSL url of your page onto your fan page tab application settings, and it will work. You will want to do this as Facebook is continually encouraging users to enable the always-on SSL option on their account, and at some point SSL may be the only option on Facebook and they probably won't give you much of a warning to enable it.
for now it's an option to have ssl certificate but starting from October the first, it will be required
i have set up my application, it works well for almost all browsers except google chrome, it seems to have a warning about my secure url of the ifram and doesnt load it, the only way i could work around it is visiting the actual url of the iframe, confirmed the ssl warning, then went back to the application on fb, so it finally worked
lousy solution i know, but there was nothing else i could do
