Ah I would have at the time, but the limitation on my account prevented me from doing so until several hours after I posted my original question. I will do so now. :D

comment Trying to get OAuth dialog to work
Argh! Chalk this one up to user error on my part. Instead of using the numeric application ID, I was using the namespace string instead. Once I used the correct value in my OAuth URL, the expected page loaded up just fine. I wish these epiphanies occurred to me before I went posting on forums asking for help.

I figured out the problem. The server software I was using was performing a redirect "behind the scenes". I didn't see this until I had cranked up the logging a little. I have to fix this on my end. Sorry, and thanks for your help!

The path part of the URL I am using is "/app/usa/fb/". When I load my app under apps.facebook.com, I get this message: Problem accessing /view. Reason: Not Found Powered by Jetty:// Not surprisingly, I see this exact error message if I just load up mydomain.com/view directly. I can see that FB is indeed hitting our server in the logs, but it's going for /view, not the path I told to to load. That's what's leaving me scratching my head.

As for the time lag question you brought up, I created the application yesterday, left it overnight, and then tried it again this morning (almost 18 hours of time went by).

Right now I'm not ready to publicly broadcast my URL yet. That's why is used the pseudo-URL in my original post. To answer your question more generally, I only have two fields filled in, the Canvas URL and the Canvas secure URL. They both go to the same location, the difference being "http" and "https" as the protocols being used respectively. I left all the other fields blank as they appeared to have pertained to functionality that I have yet to implement (such as facebook user authentication, for example).
