Detailed Description

Facebook Connect authentication.

New applications should consider using `FacebookGraphMixin` below instead
of this class.

To authenticate with Facebook, register your application with
Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php. Then
copy your API Key and Application Secret to the application settings
'facebook_api_key' and 'facebook_secret'.

When your application is set up, you can use this Mixin like this
to authenticate the user with Facebook::

    class FacebookHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler,
                          tornado.auth.FacebookMixin):
        @tornado.web.asynchronous
        def get(self):
            if self.get_argument("session", None):
                self.get_authenticated_user(self.async_callback(self._on_auth))
                return
            self.authenticate_redirect()

        def _on_auth(self, user):
            if not user:
                raise tornado.web.HTTPError(500, "Facebook auth failed")
            # Save the user using, e.g., set_secure_cookie()

The user object returned by get_authenticated_user() includes the
attributes 'facebook_uid' and 'name' in addition to session attributes
like 'session_key'. You should save the session key with the user; it is
required to make requests on behalf of the user later with
facebook_request().

def tornado.auth.FacebookMixin.authenticate_redirect (   self,
  callback_uri = None,
  cancel_uri = None,
  extended_permissions = None 
)
Authenticates/installs this app for the current user.

Definition at line 798 of file auth.py.

def tornado.auth.FacebookMixin.authorize_redirect (   self,
  extended_permissions,
  callback_uri = None,
  cancel_uri = None 
)
Redirects to an authorization request for the given FB resource.

The available resource names are listed at
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Extended_permission.
The most common resource types include:

* publish_stream
* read_stream
* email
* sms

extended_permissions can be a single permission name or a list of
names. To get the session secret and session key, call
get_authenticated_user() just as you would with
authenticate_redirect().

Definition at line 821 of file auth.py.

def tornado.auth.FacebookMixin.facebook_request (   self,
  method,
  callback,
  args 
)
Makes a Facebook API REST request.

We automatically include the Facebook API key and signature, but
it is the callers responsibility to include 'session_key' and any
other required arguments to the method.

The available Facebook methods are documented here:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/API

Here is an example for the stream.get() method::

    class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler,
              tornado.auth.FacebookMixin):
@tornado.web.authenticated
@tornado.web.asynchronous
def get(self):
    self.facebook_request(
        method="stream.get",
        callback=self.async_callback(self._on_stream),
        session_key=self.current_user["session_key"])

def _on_stream(self, stream):
    if stream is None:
       # Not authorized to read the stream yet?
       self.redirect(self.authorize_redirect("read_stream"))
       return
    self.render("stream.html", stream=stream)

Definition at line 860 of file auth.py.

def tornado.auth.FacebookMixin.get_authenticated_user (   self,
  callback 
)
Fetches the authenticated Facebook user.

The authenticated user includes the special Facebook attributes
'session_key' and 'facebook_uid' in addition to the standard
user attributes like 'name'.
