Links on Facebook homepage to messages redirect to homepage #4

When using the drop down menu beside the facebook logo, message links point to http websites, which get reloaded as https://www.facebook.com other links, like those on the timeline work ok, as far as I can see.

Links to photos on home go to an error page as well. I really suggest using that greasemonkey script method i mentioned before.

I see this - I found it in a few places on Facebook. I am trying to find an HTTPS server to rewrite these requests to, because it is failing since they don't offer it on some of their subdomains (I think it is the CDN).

I will catch that redirect and rewrite it. I also emailed Facebook to ask them if they can offer HTTPS on all those domains, or at least give us another hostname that we can point to. Thanks for pointing this out - I am going to incorporate the code from the greasmonkey script (I see what they are doing, I will make it a bit 'cleaner').

I will commit this sometime in the next day and push an update out (lots of users alread)

Ok - so the way I am going to do this is to build in a rules engine and store site-specific rules in a separate file and in the options page. I will put in some debug options so users can see a debug dump of pages that break, and then write some rules for them to bypass it, and submit it back to the project. I think this is the best way to do it, rather than have if site == 'facebook.com' etc. throughout the main script.

This error is due to the Fidelio's handling of query string parameters. I've fixed this and submitted a pull request: https://github.com/nikcub/Fidelio/pull/12
