https even just for testing purposes?

Question

I know that you need a secure https thingy to hose a valid app on. But if I just want to test some stuff, like how to make use of the social plugins from within a flash app and so on, do I need a secured url as well? Or is there something like a testuser for that too, that doesn't care about this but let's me simply test the stuff?

Thanks for any help.

"All Canvas apps must process signed_request (fb_sig will be removed) and obtain an SSL certificate (unless you are in Sandbox mode)." Via: Facebook Dev Blog - https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/497

Just set your app to sandbox mode. And you should be all set. Otherwise you could always look into a service such as this: http://www.social-server.com
