 ==Overview==
 More often than not you will want to test the Facebook Connect feature on your localhost before deploying it on a live site. Facebook, of course, will not recognize the localhost as a valid web server and probably won't even allow you to create the application that points to localhost. So, are you doomed to try the Facebook Connect only on a server that is publicly available?
