And also introduces secure canvas url and secure tab url fields in the Developer App for the developer to provide their app over HTTPS connection.
As they making Facebook more stronger and secure, they get some transition between old Facebook authentication and HTTP to OAuth 2.0 and HTTPS. OAuth 2.0 is Open Standard co-authored with Yahoo, Google, Twitter and others. Because of huge numbers of apps using legal Facebook auth system, so they make decision to developers to make their apps HTTPS friendly till 1st Oct. This is because Facebook applications accidently leaking access third parties. Now the developers need their apps to pass from OAuth 2.0. So if your app is not support HTTPS browsing then Fan Pages related to your apps will be disappeared. In order for developers to be compliant with Facebook's platform update each developer will essentially be required to deliver content via SSL. That means that each developer's server will need to be SSL equipped.
