Jetpack Google+ sharing button issue

[virendrachandak]

I found an issue/bug when you have Jetpack (1.5) installed on WordPress (3.4.1) and the Sharing buttons enabled and have the Google+ button on your post. If you have all these enabled, and then go to a post and add "?share=google-plus-1" to the URL, you get a blank white page.

e.g. ​http://wordpress.org/news/2012/07/event-organizers-unite/?share=google-plus-1

If you try ​http://wordpress.org/news/2012/07/event-organizers-unite/?share=facebook it take you to facebook share page.

The problem is probably because all other services have a share URL to which we are redirected for sharing. However, there is no url for Google+. So, in file wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-source.php on lines 928 & 929

		parent::process_request( $post, $post_data );
		die();

So the process_request just processes the request, and there is no redirect and hence we get a blank white page due to the die() on Line 929.

If we see a the same function for other service like "Press This" on line 889 we process the request and then on line 892 we redirect the user.

		// Record stats
		parent::process_request( $post, $post_data );
		
		// Redirect to Press This
		wp_safe_redirect( $url );
		die();

Hence the user is redirected to the service sharing page. In case of google, we don't have any such page and hence it just dies, and therefore we get the blank white page.

How did you end up getting sent to that URL? There shouldn't be anything in the plugin which ever actually directs a user to that URL, since the G+ button uses Google's own code, and thus doesn't go through Jetpack's process_request() handler.
