Cannot get the "until" paramter to work with Graph API

I am building an app in which I need to "backtrack" some datas. To do so, I read on the doc that there is a parameter called "until". However, it doesn't seem to work :

https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola?until=2011-01-01&access_token={at}

gives the same results than:

https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola?access_token={at}

Did I do anything wrong or is it some kind of bug?

Thanks, Nicolas.

When searching or querying connections, there are several useful parameters that enable you to filter and page through connection data:

limit, offset: https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?limit=3 until, since (a unix timestamp or any date accepted by strtotime): https://graph.facebook.com/search?until=yesterday&q=orange

Note that you cannot apply the "until" parameter directly to an object, it should be used with a connection.

You didn't do anything wrong. Just tested this and it appears until does not work with a user's profile overview (/me), but does work for detailed information on the user (/me/likes). I could easily search for my likes years in the past using it. I would suggested drilling down and backtracking each specific element of the user you want to check. You could also file this as a bug/suggestion.
