We are facing the following issue. We are building a Facebook Tab page, and the SSL URL, is through AKAMAI (something like: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/{PATH}). The Non Secure page tab, is served through a normal URL (eg. http://ourapp.com) Both URLs are properly configured and resolved by Facebook (tested through Linter), but, when we open the page tab, we get:

Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://a248.e.akamai.net/" on this server.

It seems, that Facebook, POSTs to the secure URL, without the full URL, just the domain part. the thing is getting weirder, if we append an image to the app settings. when we put:

Non Secure Tab: http://ourdomain.com/image1.jpg
Secure Tab: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/{PATH}/image1.jpg

Then the access denied is like this:

Access Denied
You don't have permission to access `http://a248.e.akamai.net/image1.jpg on this server.

Are there any suggestions?

For Access Denied issues, you usually get a error reference number too. Say something like #18.e.12sd.sdffsdf so on.. If you translate this error reference code in Akamai diagnostics feature, you will be able to see more details on why the request is denied. And i am not sure why are you requesting http://a248.e.akamai.net/image1.jpg in first place ? It should be your application domain followed by image1.jpg. DNS will then resolve your domain to Akamai domain which in turn will resolve to one of the akamai edge servers ip.
