Facebook will POST data to apps

I'm not excited about having to go through all my apps to update them for this. It's going to be hours of work, followed by weeks of users reporting subtle bugs that cropped up as a result.

This kind of frequent, sweeping change is the reason why people despise the Facebook platform.

There's a setting you can flip to turn this on now for testing. It doesn't affect a lot, just which particular request variables array you need to pull from. In many languages, you might not even need to make a change on your end.

Relax, after you finish it will only be a couple of weeks until you are finally able to get rid of it all. Of course no one will tell you that time...
