Loqi 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?
#
aaronpk odd
#
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 here's the headers it sends: https://gist.github.com/be38853fb12ee44ef5bd
#
barnabywalters cheers
#
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 heh
#
aaronpk ok I just removed it, can you try again?
#
barnabywalters heh — no surprise it was never particularly popular :/
#
barnabywalters goes again
#
barnabywalters marvellous, working perfectly again
#
aaronpk woo!
#
barnabywalters and twitter is faster than openID was, so no real loss ;)
#
singpolyma aaronpk: which OpenID code are you using?
#
aaronpk heh
#
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
#
Loqi grins profusely
