I am creating a web app with express.js and angular,js, where the client authenticates via facebook. For facebook authentication I use facebook-node-sdk to connect with facebook and retrieve details.
The code works well when authentication is made via a url redirect. But the same code returns no result when I send a POST request from client to invoke the same code
Server Code
app.post('/login', Facebook.loginRequired(), function(req, res){
var result = {};
req.facebook.api('/me', function(err, user) {
console.log(user);
if(user !== undefined){
result.status = 1;
result.name = user.name;
res.contentType('json');
res.write(JSON.stringify(result));
res.render('index')
res.end();
}
else{
result.status = 0;
result.name = "Error signing into Facebook";
res.contentType('json');
res.write(JSON.stringify(result));
res.render('/')
res.end();
}
});
});
I have no error when the above code is invoked. console.log shows:
POST /login 302.
So is it possible to authenticate facebook via POST request or should it be always a direct URL request? If so any option to authenticate via POST?
