A Facebook application runs on what they call the *canvas*, which is a hole punched on their layout where the content of a *callback URL* will be rendered.  When a user makes a request to see the application, Facebook parses the request and makes its own request to the callback URL. This means that Facebook must be able to communicate with the server where the content is.
When developing on a laptop this is often an issue if the underlying network is not under your control (meaning you can't setup port forwarding on the NAT router). This sucks big time.
ssh tunneling to the rescue! All we need is a machine with a direct connection to the Internet somewhere on the cloud, such as a VPS. We tell Facebook that our callback URL is on that VPS, and we set up a tunneling scheme to ensure that all requests made to the VPS are automatically and seamlessly forwarded to our laptop throu
