facebook graph images

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I try to get timthumb to resize main images of facebook profiles.

A TimThumb error has occured

The following error(s) occured:
The remote file is not a valid image.

Timthumb works fine, but not with facebook graph.
what can it be? heeeeelp!?

URL getting error sample:
http://republicarayada.com.mx/timthumb.php?src=https://graph.facebook.com/100000
043114207/picture?type=normal&h=104&w=83&zc=1

I already have set:

define ('ALLOW_EXTERNAL', TRUE);
$ALLOWED_SITES = array (
'facebook.com',
);

i have already solved!
the error is because the facebook redirect to get the image.
you have to provide to timthumb, the final url.

yeah, use this function to get this url.

    public function getRealUrl($photoLink) {            
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $this->header);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $this->useragent);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_URL, $photoLink);
        //this assumes your code is into a class method, and uses $this->readHeader as the callback //function
        curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, array(&$this,'readHeader'));
        $response = curl_exec($this->curl);
        if(!curl_errno($this->curl)) {
            $info = curl_getinfo($this->curl);
//            var_dump($info);
             if($info["http_code"] == 302) {
                 $headers = $this->getHeaders();
                 if(isset($headers['fileUrl'])) {
                     return $headers['fileUrl'];
                 }
             }
        }
        return false;
    }
