Facebook 'Send' button not sending url; not telling me why

I have a facebook 'Send' button that is supposed to allow a users to post one of my blog posts on my rails-based site to a facebook feed.

This is the real url that I'm trying to post: http://50.62.12.222/projects/1/blog_posts/1/blog_post_replies

At first I thought it might be an issue with authentication for that particular object's 'show' action. Once I fixed that and verified that the page does not require authentication, I am baffled about what to try next.

neither the route <%= project_blog_post_blog_post_replies_url(@project, b) %> or the rendered url(above) work. And the error I'm getting in equally ambiguous:

"We encountered the following error when sending your message:"

EDIT: And I get the same failure if I try this url on the facebook developer site as well (where it gives you the paste code for the button).

Try setting og meta tags too. Although the are not required fields, but facebook might be failing initial requests for Send button hit. Consider following suggestions

Inferred Property: The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. Inferred Property: The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. Inferred Property: The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. Tiny og:image: All the images referenced by og:image must be at least 200px in both dimensions. Please check all the images with tag og:image in the given url and ensure that it meets the minimum specification.

Once you are done, go to http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2F50.62.12.222%2Fprojects%2F1%2Fblog_posts%2F1%2Fblog_post_replies and ensure you are doing everything fine.
