Hi Marzia - thanks for your response! Sadly I cannot redirect before returning to Facebook. I can ask Facebook to redirect, but if I redirect to a non-canvas page it won't render within the Facebook environment. Does that make sense?
For example, if I wanted to redirect to 2.latest.myapp.appspot.com I can send Facebook this directive: <fb:redirect url='http://2.latest.myapp.appspot.com' /> But it will render this page in a regular window, not the Facebook chrome and FBML.
