Facebook graph API unknown http error

Question

I am attempting to use the Facebook JS sdk to retrieve my friends list via FB.api("/me/friends") , but I keep getting the following error: {"type":"http","message":"unknown error"}

When I view the request in Chrome debugger tools it shows the request as failed, but copying the url and going to it in a new window pulls down my friends list data as expected.

Has anyone seen this before?

This was caused by the Avast security plugin blocking social networks.

Ghostery would cause that too. Disable it if you are developing a fb app (duh!)

Kaspersky Internet Security also caused the same error.

I also had this problem and it seems that Facebook doesn't like if you put the protocol on the app domain and site url fields inside app settings. I had https://blabla.... Removing the protocol solved the error for me.
