Why does 302 redirect does not work in a iframe?

In facebook documentatin page login for canvas, they says:

Because your application is being loaded in an iframe, returning a 302 to redirect the user to the Login Dialog will be unsuccessful.

What is the reason for a 302 redirect not working inside an iframe? Does it mean that if I have any redirect in my app, should I do it via javascript, as they suggest or only this one?

Thanks in advance

Your app is in an iframe on the facebook website. So if they allowed that iframe to open another facebook page, it would look like a "facebook inside of facebook".

When a user loads your app in a canvas page, Facebook sends you a signed_request via POST to that page. You can read about how to handle that in the documentation.
