Connecting with Facebook and Verifying Postgres

Using Alex's UGCS account, we were able to authenticate/authorize with the Facebook API, extracting the user ID. The Graph API is very useful for accessing this data. At the same time, we were able to access the Postgres database on UGCS by creating and dropping a table.

You can check out our Facebook test app at: http://ugcs.caltech.edu/~alexf/test.php

One interesting setback seems to be that UGCS does not support HTTPS since it lacks a trusted SSL certificate. Unfortunately, we will probably need to find a new location to host our site.
