Here is the entry from the apache log: 69.63.181.250 - - [04/Aug/2010:13:26:12 +0000] "POST /facebook/ profile_tab.cfm HTTP/1.1" 200 245 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8"
If I request the page with safari the useragent is the one used from safari, when using firefox it's firefoxes useragent string. I tried to trace any outgoing request with firebug but there does not seem to be any communication going direct to our server from the browser. Also the IP in the apache log belongs to facebook according to who is. I have also tried renaming the page and as expected facebook complains with 404 and the apache log also shows a 404. I will see if i can set up a sandbox server so i can open up the ports as the current server is firewalled and the admin is bigger than me. ;) if i use any other means to request the page: wget, lynx, browser, cfhttp etc the page gets executed except when it is called from facebook. This is some weird shit, how can a HTTP request tell the server to NOT process the file. thanx up front for helping me look into this.
