Facebook Send dialog gives 100 error when sending Facebook urls

I'm using the Facebook send dialog to send links to Facebook posts. But I get the following error back from the Facebook API:

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: 'link' is invalid.

This is the JavaScript:

  <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
  <script>
    // assume we are already logged in
    FB.init({appId: '569858063028330'});

    FB.ui({
      method: 'send',
      link: 'https://www.facebook.com/benjerryuk/posts/10151500944440101'
    });
  </script>

You can run it here: http://jsbin.com/welcome/62834/edit

I couldn't find it written specifically, but from my attempts it seems that facebook does not accept links to itself for some reason - I can't confirm this, but I got the same result even when I put links of public posts or profiles.

You might have the link refer to your app, which will redirect to the correct facebook post.

Another note: while showing this dialog, facebook loads the given link with AJAX, which means that A) it must be an active URL and B) you cannot use localhost.

Hope that helps.
