example log.

we're POSTing to e.g. https://graph.facebook.com/NovemberProjectSF_568825249920639/likes, but maybe it should be either https://graph.facebook.com/568825249920639/likes or https://graph.facebook.com/NovemberProjectSF/568825249920639/likes? not sure which yet, or if either will work.

...but sometimes that URL format works. maybe the difference is user id vs username? post object id vs photo? here's an example that worked by POSTing to https://graph.facebook.com/753470156_10155052328930157/likes

thanks to @tantek for the report!

This is very odd as all I did was copy the URL of the hyperlinked date/time from several phosts/photos on FB - confusing that somehow they are treated differently by FB.

ah, no, sorry if i was unclear. bridgy breaks down the u-like-of URL you give it, then reconstructs variants when it needs them. the maybe bad URL is a graph.facebook.com API URL.

Just manually iterated through all the likes on http://tantek.com/2015/002/f and of the 10 there, only http://tantek.com/2015/002/f2 and http://tantek.com/2015/002/f3 caused the 404 bug (and consistently so). All the other http://tantek.com/2015/002/f posts (f1-f10) seemed to work fine.

facebook publish: POSSE like should return FB POSSE like permalink #334

looks like this is because the FB API doesn't like usernames anywhere except in bare object lookups. specifically, ids like NovemberProjectSF_568825249920639 definitely don't work. it should be the NovemberProjectSF page id instead.

sounds like this is actually the same problem as #349.

confirmed, at least for reading, but should apply to writing too. /276430682493432_568825249920639/likes works, /NovemberProjectSF_568825249920639/likes doesn't.

this is mostly fixed by the changes in #349 and nearby. the part that's not fixed is #350, which is a whole other can of worms. :/
