Prompted to download xd_proxy.css/php
As of today, some of you have probably noticed that you are being asked to download this file while surfing MY350Z and other websites. This seems to be a net-wide issue dealing with Facebook integration.
Just a heads up for administrators: the only temporary fix to this (administrative/server side) seems to be that you will have to go as far as disabling the entire Facebook platform.
This appears to have started on Feb 2, 2011. Was working fine on Feb 1, 2011.
Go to the site listed for this bug or any other site with like buttons such as
http://www.techcrunch.com using an Internet Explorer browser.
You will be prompted to download xd_proxy.css. This is creating a lot of
complaints from users.
Most sites have a significant amount of like button placement.

Just tried it out and didn't get an error. Although I did notice that the Digg, Buzz, and Tweet and Like buttons were misaligned...
If I hit the Compatibility View button, they are fixed but the Like button doesnt show up any more. :O
When I visit that site in Chrome, everything works fine and all buttons are aligned.
Dun dun dunnnn

Another possible solution:
When accessing "http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect/xd_proxy.php" via any Facebook Connect methods ('Like' buttons, logins, etc.) the only content returned is:
.app_content_51546247891 a.uiLinkSubtle { display: none; }
.app_content_51546247891 a.UIImageBlock_ICON_Image { display: none; }
#bootloader_Zvucx { height: 42px; }
This is clearly CSS code, and for an application called "Lorand's Blog"
Link to Application:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/applica...id=51546247891
However, when loaded through a secure connection
(https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect/xd_proxy.php), the page SEEMS to be the right one.
I'm guessing this has to do with Facebook's upgrade to use secure connections?
(See http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/452)
Any help is much appreciated!!

Based on Clark's comments, I changed my connection to the facebook js files to use https instead of http.
I changed this line of javascript code from:
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
to this:
e.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
This seems to have fixed my issue.

As of the last few minutes I'm not getting the prompt any more. They seem to be working on a fix over on the FB team. I'm sure it had something to do with switching over to a secure connection as well. This thread might not need to be open for much longer, but I figured I would post just in case.
