We were able to repro this issue only when the url you are trying to send is invalid. e.g. http://foo.bar.domain.com/. We are working on a fix to show an appropriate error message when the url is invalid. This is a low pri bug but if you are having an issue in sending a link that is valid, please add your repro steps here by clicking on 'Yes' next to the "Does this repro describe your issue?"

I'm trying to send via JS API a link which includes a sub-subdomain (foo.bar.domain.com), when I open the dialog everything is ok and the linter can scan my page and pick out the correct name and image but when I press send the dialog freezes and I can see a post being sent to the server to facebook.com/dialog/send which returns with a 500 message

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the FB.UI Send dialog with a link which includes a sub-subdomain (foo.bar.domain.com)
2. The dialog opens and displays the correct info for the content on that page.
3. Write a message for the recipient
4. Click send (to field was pre-filled)

Here's an example that doesn't work in the Javascript Test Console (replace USERNAME with a real account)
<script>
FB.ui({
method: 'send',
to: "%USERNAME%",
link: "foo.bar.google.com",
}, Log.info.bind('Send Dialog close'));
</script>

Here's something called X-FB-DEBUG that I see returned in the response when I try to run in in the Javascript Test Console. X-FB-Debug:qBZPzsiM+IHIv391J+vLPmT6rQeqWAREJSIp/uaiUH4=

Expected Behavior:

The message to be sent to the recipient.

Actual Behavior:

An error occurs and can be seen in the browsers Dev tools.
