Facebook requests 2.0 , how to change "Accept" button url to be a url outside of facebook?

Question

My app sits outside facebook canvas. The facebook request dialog 2.0 only redirects to canvas url eg. apps.ibibo.com/YOURAPP. How can I make it open a custom url ? This was possible in legacy FBML form with fb:request-form and setting req-url .

Are requests 2.0 restricted only to inside facebook URLS ? My requirement is to send game requests,but my game sits outside facebook. i.e. on clicking "ACCEPT" the url to open should be

"http://www.mydomain.com/mygame" and not

"http://apps.facebook.com/mygame" .

These methods do not seem to fit my requirement : http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/ ( only canvas url redirection )

I thought of one workaround as : The user clicks on "ACCEPT" and comes to the canvas url, and from the canvas url, I redirect him to my url outside facebook. But I am not sure if that is compliant with facebook policy ? ( mentioned here in point#4 of first paragraph : http://developers.facebook.com/blog/ )

Need a jquery script to override the default function of facebook. However this works only when the person goes to "http://apps.facebook.com/mygame" and click on 'add app'.

Simpler to just have a welcome page, users click on "PLAY" and it opens a new window into your page.

Put <button id="fb-auth">Login</button> somewhere on mygame page and add this javascript code:

function updateButton(response) {
  //Log.info('Updating Button', response);
  var button = document.getElementById('fb-auth');

  if (response.status === 'connected') {
      //button.innerHTML = 'Logout';
      button.onclick = function() {
        FB.logout(function(response) {
          //Log.info('FB.logout callback', response);
        });
      };
    } else {
      //button.innerHTML = 'Login';
      button.onclick = function() {
        FB.login(function(response) {
          //Log.info('FB.login callback', response);
          if (response.status === 'connected') {
            //Log.info('User is logged in');
            window.open("http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/some.html");
          } else {
            //Log.info('User is logged out');
          }
        });
      };
    }
};

// run it once with the current status and also whenever the status changes
FB.getLoginStatus(updateButton);
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', updateButton);
