Tracking Facebook apps with Piwik

[mattab]

Tracking facebook app with Piwik (using the Image tracking tag) seems to not work correctly as it appears facebook is caching requests and responses from the Piwik servers. This leads to incorrect tracking results (see forum post for reference).

The solution might be to have Facebook provide a tag for the Piwik JS code, as it does for GA or quantcast: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/quantcast

However I'm not confident FB will want to do this, since the Piwik JS will be hosted by each separate Piwik server and therefore considered insecure (loading 1st level JS in facebook.com domain wouldn't be a good idea).

I am unsure if there is a solution for tracking FB apps with Piwik. If there is, please post a comment.
