RFacebook Authentication Error

I got fb_OAuth to work. My browser says authentication successful and tells redirects me to R. However this is what appears:

Copy and paste into Site URL on Facebook App Settings:    http://localhost:1410 
When done, press any key to continue...
Waiting for authentication in browser...
Press Esc/Ctrl + C to abort
Authentication complete.
Error: Deprecated: supply token object to config directly"

This is being discussed here. Apparently, there is an issue with httr, on which rfacebook's FB authentication function is based.

You can try the following:

Install an older version of httr

You can try downloading the tar.gz files from Cran's archive 

#Credit to Thomas Leeper from whose answer the following was copied
#http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17082341/installing-older-version-of-r-package
#for example of ggplot2
packageurl <- "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggplot2/ggplot2_0.9.1.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")

or you can try install_version() function from the devtools package

Generate a temporay authentication
by visiting this link: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
and then pasting the token you acquire into any functions of rfacebook that require an access token.

Update

As of August 6th, the package author has sorted the problem out - it is now possible to complete the authentication process without ending up in an error.
