Hi Kyle,
I have quite a funny bug/missing feature. My whole site is behind login apart from the CB Login page and the main page. Anyway, it is only usable if you login.
I have now the problem that the embedded links to my own site show up funny when I post it on my own cb activity. CB Activity streams can only be accessed by registered (as set in the CB Activity plugin configuration) and my own embedder spider cannot access a link to my own site (which is at the same level as the CB Activity plugin?
This has been bugging me for some time and would be great if you could solve it. There does not seem to be any reason why the embedder cannot simply use the same access as the CB Activity plugin no?

The embedding does an HTTP request from the server, not the user, to the supplied URL to grab its metedata and verify the URL even exists. It does not pass any cookies with this request for security purposes. For it to do what you're wanting it would need to pass the login cookie state with the HTTP request, but only to on-site URLs. I'll consider implementing that in a future request, but it is not a priority as there's security issues possible here.

I'm not adding a new parameter to remove it later, sorry. Adding new parameters to streams is also a complex process involving over a dozen different locations as well. It should already be rejecting inaccessible URLs with "Please provide a valid link." if the URL does respond with a 200 response it will at least still share the link, but the user will have to supply the title/description if one can't be parsed.
