I've been trying to use Corona SDK's Facebook API to post the score on the game I'm developing on facebook. However, I'm having a problem with it. During the first time I try to post to facebook, I get this error after login and user authentication:

NSURLErrorDomain error code -999

Then, it won't post on facebook. What are possible causes of this error and how can I address it? I tried searching the web but couldn't find information about it. Thanks in advance.

By the way, I am not using webview on my app. Just the widget api and a show_dialog listener in my Facebook class.

The error has been documented on the Mac Developer Library(iOS docs)

The concerned segment from the documentation will be:

URL Loading System Error Codes

These values are returned as the error code property of an NSError object with the domain “NSURLErrorDomain”.

enum
{
   NSURLErrorUnknown = -1,
   NSURLErrorCancelled = -999,
   NSURLErrorBadURL = -1000,
   NSURLErrorTimedOut = -1001,

As you can see; -999 is caused by ErrorCancelled. This means: another request is made before the previous request is completed.
