Facebook application using a page hosted on github

Question

I need to make a small and static website inside Facebook appin order to set up a new one Tab for a Facebook page, like Ferrari does.

To achieve this, I need to create a website, host it, and then create a Facebook application to display it inside it.

The first problem was that I do not have an SSL web host to configure secure URLs in my facebook app settings, so I decided to use github pages. My site was very simple and static, so although these github pages will do the job for me.

But when I configure the application for Facebook to display my website hosted on github, see the error and my actual application settings:

Image album for errors and settings .

I read about the nginx 405 error and it seems to be mainly due to the web server configuration and the way facebook “calls” iframes / websites via POST.

So my question is: how can I get a solution for this on my own?

Answer 1

As of September 10, 2014 this cannot be achieved.

The Github pages web server does not allow POST requests to static content, just like facebook does.
