barnabywalters: tantek left you a message on 10/9 at 12:43pm: nice! but where's the URL field? ;)
#
barnabywalters
Is anyone else having indieauth problems?
#
barnabywalters
Currently I’m getting "Error: No rel="me" links were found on your website"
#
barnabywalters
but there are
#
barnabywalters
was working fine, what 5 mins ago?
#
barnabywalters
I have been making some changes, let me just validate…
#
barnabywalters
ah, the validator is getting 500 errors
#
barnabywalters
so there must be some bug in the new routing code
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: what Accept: header does indieauth send?
#
aaronpk
not sure...
#
barnabywalters
I will add more fallback to the content negotiation code
#
barnabywalters
fights the temptation to use nested ternary operators in this particular bit of code
#
aaronpk
i think it sends */*
#
barnabywalters
is there any caching? Do I need to wait before testing again?
#
aaronpk
no, it doesn't cache (for exactly this reason)
#
barnabywalters
okay, now it’s getting the content okay, but there’s some auth provider failure
#
barnabywalters
"The authentication provider replied with an error: connection_failed"
#
barnabywalters
so I’m guessing this is a openid thing and I should ditch that
#
aaronpk
ah... yea unfortunatley i've been having bad luck with the openid plugin
#
barnabywalters
oh, again? It sounds rather volatile
#
aaronpk
I tried tracking it down a while ago, couldn't make sense of it
#
barnabywalters
if it doesn’t work as an indieauth provider, can you remove it from the list of supported providers?
#
aaronpk
I thought I had already... let me check
#
barnabywalters
I do use it to log in to some other services
#
aaronpk
oh I must have added it back before indiewebcampuk so people could log in
#
aaronpk
it works for like 50% of people
#
barnabywalters
I was one of the 50%, up until now!
#
aaronpk
ok I just removed it, can you try again?
#
barnabywalters
heh — no surprise it was never particularly popular :/
#
barnabywalters
marvellous, working perfectly again
#
barnabywalters
and twitter is faster than openID was, so no real loss ;)
#
singpolyma
aaronpk: which OpenID code are you using?
#
singpolyma
barnabywalters: twitter auth also does nat really count as indie :P
#
barnabywalters
thanks aaronpk
#
aaronpk
singpolyma: twitter auth via indieauth
#
barnabywalters
singpolyma: ah, but I am not relying on it
#
aaronpk
singpolyma: I'm using the omniauth stuff: https://github.com/intridea/omniauth-openid
#
barnabywalters
I am not using twitter to identify myself to other websites
#
singpolyma
really? I haven't heard of people having problems with omniauth before. That's unfortunate
#
singpolyma
barnabywalters: what's your OP? (the one that it seems omniauth was unhappy with(
#
barnabywalters
singpolyma: I delegate to myopenid
#
aaronpk
it was some failure in the storage provider IIRC. I tried switching between memcache and files on disk, but both had trouble
#
singpolyma
aaronpk: Oh, interesting. So it may not be OP related?
#
aaronpk
i was never able to actually track down the cause
#
singpolyma
Ok. I'll try to look into it if I can
#
singpolyma
grumbles about the re-fission of the ID space
#
barnabywalters
Loqi: grumblgrumblegrumble

grins profusely
