I am asking me if it's really possibe, in an application, to post on a user's friend wall?

Explaination:

  • User A allow my application with publish_stream permission.
  • User A have 3 friends: B, C and D
  • In my aplication I want to post a message in User C

User C don't use and authorize my app but is the friend of User A

I'm asking me if with feed dialog (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/), or graph API, i can do this.

Thanks

publish_stream Enables your app to post content, comments, and likes to a user's stream and to the streams of the user's friends. With this permission, you can publish content to a user's feed at any time, without requiring offline_access. However, please note that Facebook recommends a user-initiated sharing model.

Sure you can - if you use the feed dialog (FB.ui), the user can select a friends wall/timeline to post to. You do not need the publish_stream permission for this as it is a user initiated post. The publish_stream permission is only needed for "automatic" posts made by your application.
