[Facebooker-talk] Better RESTful routes with fb_sig_request_method

[Mike Mangino]

I would expect that with this change we won't need the  
facebook_resource at all. We should be able to monkeypatch rails to  
use the fb_sig_request_method and fall back to the main method if that  
doesn't exist.

I would be much happier with a patch that does this. My goal is to  
make Facebook development work exactly like non-facebook development.
