Answer 1

I experienced this problem today.

Since the developer link to a bug in the other answer says that the problem was fixed, I thought I would provide information about the issue I experienced.

The fact is that my website is expected to be used on HTTPS (with SSL) and not HTTP. I give the tool an address with, clearly, HTTPS everywhere (all URLs on the page are HTTPS and the one I paste in the Sharing Debugger is also HTTPS). Yet, they ended up failing because in their test, somehow, they drop the "S" and hit the server without any encryption.

I thought that could help some other people. By enabling the non-encrypted website, Facebook started working since everything was in place (and it was for a while, but that error was driving me crazy!)
