Possible bug in Meteor.http

[vlebedev]

I'm trying to get a list of facebook friends for a current user (client-side):

Meteor.http.get "https://graph.facebook.com/#{fid}/friends?access_token=#{access_token}",
    (error, result) ->
        if result.statusCode is 200
            if result.data
                do_something result
            else
                console.log "Error: 'data' property is empty in facebook friends request"
        else
            console.log "Error: facebook friends request returned #{result.statusCode}"

The code above works well in Chrome (23.0), but it fails in Firefox (17.0.1) - result.data is always null despite correct data is presented in result.content property (in a string format, of course).

Looks like this is a browser-dependent bug in Meteor.http.

I'm having the same problem. Fine on Chrome, null on Firefox.

Replicated and confirmed. Will investigate further.

Thanks for the report, @vlebedev, and thanks for including enough info to replicate easily.

This appears to be a bug in Firefox. Possibly this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608735

I've committed a workaround to the devel branch in 448da70. It seems to work for me, also talking to Facebook.

Let me know if this works for you.
