Re-asking for Declined Facebook Permissions (auth_type=rerequest) does not work

Question

we are developing a Facebook application with PHP SDK 3.2.3 and Javascript SDK. I need to re-ask users permission to publish on their wall if they denied access to publish on Facebook at login.

As documentation says:

[...] Your app must re-ask for declined permissions with special handling. [...]

[...] Web apps must explicitly pass a new option to the Login Dialog: auth_type: rerequest. Details on how the new option works on the web is covered in our documentation on using the JavaScript SDK on the Web.

but we tried with this request:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?auth_type=rerequest&client_id=1...7&redirect_uri=MY_PAGE&state=a1f4412db0617ef1a620ac1d1ebc2af8&sdk=php-sdk-3.2.3&campaign_page_with_active_panel=MY_PAGE

but users are redirected directly on MY_PAGE url and permissions are not re-requested.

This (wrong) behavior may be due to the fact that application is a test application?

Answer 1

On the js sdk I directly call the login method like this:

FB.login( function( response ) {
      if (response.status == 'connected') {

      }
},{
      scope: 'email,public_profile',
      return_scopes: true,
      auth_type: 'rerequest'
 });

On the server side I use the accesstoken to request for user details on Facebook. If the email is not provided I return an error telling the user that he needs to log in again and provide email. When they click the login button again because of the auth_type: 'rerequest' part they will be requested again for permissions.
