# 17:29 aaronpk !tell barnabywalters whoa nice work with indieweb/rel-me!
# 17:29 Loqi Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
icco joined the channel
# 17:42 jonnybarnes is an IRC bouncer how people seem to be able to stay online forever?
# 17:43 aaronpk the bouncer remains connected and you point your IRC client to the bouncer
# 17:43 aaronpk bouncers can also re-play logs so you can catch up with things you missed when you were away

# 17:50 aaronpk hm I should port barnaby's rel-me to Ruby, then use it in indieauth.com!
# 18:04 bear aaronpk - I was thinking of doing the same but to python
icco and barnabywalters joined the channel
# 18:09 Loqi barnabywalters: aaronpk left you a message 39 minutes ago: whoa nice work with indieweb/rel-me!
# 18:10 barnabywalters we should have a look at getting some sort of cross-platform test suite working
# 18:11 barnabywalters there’s the beginnings of one in the repo, as well as the usual phpunit tests
icco joined the channel
# 18:34 aaronpk yeah was thinking about that again (cross-platform test suite)
# 18:34 aaronpk I don't want to port it to Ruby until we get something like that set up
bnvk joined the channel
# 18:35 bear is the redirect issue critical when establishing rel-me chain? or is it ok if they both end up at the same final url?
# 18:35 bear sorry - reading the relme php code and trying to map it to what I have in my python indieweb tool
# 18:36 bnvk bear: you have some IndieWeb python code?
# 18:36 aaronpk omg barnabywalters you wrote the test suite in microformats?!
# 18:36 bear bnvk - I have code that i'm using to implement my static site - yes
# 18:37 bear it's starting to - I am adding each piece as I need it
icco joined the channel
# 18:37 bear all of it so far - it's in flux mostly because as I learn and use, refactoring happens
# 18:38 bnvk I wanna add IndieWeb contact updating to Mailpile
# 18:40 bear I'm also very open to adding people to the repo so it can improve by being worked on by others
# 18:41 bnvk I'm not quite good enough at python to give feedback on others code, but will try to get some help on integrating some of it maybe :)
# 18:43 bear if you use it and find yourself asking questions… that is feedback and very helpful
# 18:44 bear even a conversation that is only "hey, why did you do *this*" is very useful as it can either go into a FAQ or it can lead to better docs
# 18:45 bnvk bear: so looks like there is no methods specifically for getting hCards, right?
# 18:49 bear right - it's very new, I haven't needed that so haven't added it

# 18:56 bear bnvk - the one question that has been open in my mind is to find any mf2 parsers in python and see if they can work and be assimilated or if I need to shave that yak
# 18:57 bnvk bear: yeaaaah... that is ideal, I feel like someone mentioned a partially developed one at some point- i'll ask Barnaby as I think he told me about it
# 18:57 bear would love to hear your thoughts on that for sure
# 18:57 bear i would rather help an existing open source project than create yet another one
# 18:58 bnvk KartikPrabhu: yah, that's the one I was thinking of
# 19:00 bear if it solves the issue and then we can help… :)
# 19:00 bear nothing wrong with a small collection of distint tools
# 19:01 bnvk tommorris: are you in London most of the work weeks?
KartikPrabhu and Acidnerd joined the channel
# 19:04 bnvk Speaking of Barnaby, I probably should go back sure he's not standing on my street corner in the freezing cold

# 20:10 bear ok, i'm chewing on rel=me and I have read the rel=me microformats page but I have a question about verification - is it verified if a silo's rel=me url is contained within what the person's identity page has listed?
# 20:10 bear my question is how do I know that the profile identity page is canonical for the user (or is that out of scope)
# 20:11 aaronpk e.g. if I enter "aaronparecki.com", you can assume it is canonical
# 20:11 bear that is what I was thinking - this function just answers the question of "are the two rel-me's linked" and not the question of if you should trust it
# 20:13 bear (well perfect in that it's a great test to add to the list)
# 20:13 aaronpk yes it's a great example of why you have to trust the user-entered URL rather than trying to be "smart" about it
# 20:14 bear as an ops guy with security tendancies, I tend to worry/think about MITM
# 20:14 bear so verifying the redirect chain was bothering me
# 20:14 aaronpk yeah, I'd like to get your take on the issue around http -> https and https -> http redirects
# 20:15 bear yea, I have been tending to normalize and ignore the http/https difference
# 20:16 bear but I really would like to safely ignore it by knowing that http -> https was a true redirect from the same server
# 20:16 bear I would also like to treat https -> http as an inferior redirect and grade it some how
# 20:17 bear but to know for sure we would start having to verify the cert chain for a server that is behind https
# 20:17 bear which also then deals with DNS trust issues
# 20:18 bear yea, DNSSEC and DANE and all that … *nightmares*

# 23:18 snarfed bear, just fyi i'm doing indieweb stuff in python too, e.g. the bridgy codebase
# 23:18 snarfed haven't done mf2 parsing yet, but plenty of generating it, sending webmentions, etc
# 23:20 bear ah - what i've done so far is kinda what you have with webmention-tools
# 23:20 snarfed that's vrypan's, i've just been sending pull requests
# 23:21 bear I have a small lib that has webmention helpers, relme helpers and some examples that are standalone to hand inbound and outbound mentions
# 23:21 bear very cool to see another implementation's code
