I am trying to figure out why facebook's linter can not scrape my url. The url is http://tapawaydemo.atwebpages.com/tapaway_game.html. The result is:

Error Parsing URL: Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.

Even the url http://tapawaydemo.atwebpages.com returns the same result.

I am guessing the problem is either that my host has blocked access for facebook servers because it is a free tier, or that I am missing some required settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I added a bare-bones test page at http://tapawaydemo.atwebpages.com/fb_test.html. The linter is unable to scrape this page as well.

There are some errors in your sourcecode. For example, you open a button tag, but you use an anchor tag at the end instead of </button>.

edit:

Now that the problems are fixed, i tried the code on my own webserver because the FB Debugger just told me that the URL cannot be scraped. I know what the problem is now:

URL Blocked: Could not scrape URL because it has been blocked.

So, your domain seems to be blocked on facebook: "atwebpages.com" - Try to post your URL on your facebook wall and you will see. There will also be a link in the error popup then, which you can use if you think the link is ok.
