# aaronpk http://www.own-mailbox.com/ interesting blending of http and email, called "Private Link Message", where you send an email that has an https link the receipient can use to read the message
# petermolnar except non_fqdn mail sending is rejected by all mail servers in the world
# petermolnar yes
# petermolnar ah, so normal mail from normal provider
# petermolnar not from this box
KevinMarks_ and KevinMarks__ joined the channel
# petermolnar the issue is that you can't run a mail sending mail server from a home ip for various reasons: most ISPs block port 25; dsl lines don't get fully qualified domain names; reverse DNS is not set for them, etc
# petermolnar so this thing only works if you send mail from a regular address
# petermolnar with the url to the box's http server
# petermolnar the idea is nice, but I have the feeling whoever came up with it had never configured an actual, production mail server before :/
# petermolnar off to home, bye for today

# jonnybarnes anyone here know HTTP forms work?
# jonnybarnes mmm, well, I'm trying to work out if my php code is making the correct HTTP POST request
# jonnybarnes if i'm making a request with multiple syndication targets without and files (i.e. application/x-www-form-urlencoded) it looks like this:
# Loqi Form-encoded (shorthand for the content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded ) is used with webmention and Micropub for receiving text fields in HTTP POST requests https://indiewebcamp.com/form-encoded
# jonnybarnes If I include an image, it looks like this:
snarfed joined the channel
# jonnybarnes tantek, that’s more dealing with requests, not making them
# jonnybarnes Gah guzzle 6 has made things more complicated
# gRegorLove Is the question about micropub, or the array structure of $_POST in PHP?
# jonnybarnes the array structure
# gRegorLove I know the array structure pretty well.
# jonnybarnes if you look at the form>mp-syndicate-to in both instances (first a simple form, then one with an added image)
# jonnybarnes the way it details two values for mp-syndicate-to changes
# jonnybarnes is Guzzle doing it in a valid way?
# jonnybarnes I'm pretty sure the first way is correct
# jonnybarnes but here: http://hastebin.com/tadomideju.js
# @charlesreid1 just registered for #IndieWebCamp2015! https://ti.to/indiewebcamp/2015-portland (twitter.com/_/status/615564716862107648)
# gRegorLove I'm not familiar with Guzzle's transformation to JSON, but the latter looks like what I would expect
# jonnybarnes the json is actually being created by httpbin.org I beleive
# gRegorLove Two or more input name="mp-syndicate-to[]" I would expect to show up in the latter format.
# gRegorLove The array indices showing up in the key seems incorrect, like the brackets got escaped somewhere
# gRegorLove Is the form publicly visible?
KevinMarks_ and KevinMarks___ joined the channel
# jonnybarnes the form is at https://jonnybarnes.uk/notes/new
# jonnybarnes the syndication targets will all be of the form <input name="mp-syndication-to[]" name="..">
# jonnybarnes and then my site makes the relavent POST request using Guzzle
# kylewm tantek: I think that's why https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/blob/master/domain_blacklist.txt#L115
# gRegorLove Unfortunately I don't have micropub so can't debug much on my end.
# jonnybarnes thats fine
# gRegorLove typo or double 'name' attribute there?

# KartikPrabhu indieauth uses javascript for?
# KartikPrabhu hmm
# tantek as in, in-page inline JS tends to work fine, but external JS tends to be more flakey, and XHR stuff tends to be especially flakey (since error recovery needs to be done by the web dev instead of browser - i.e. reloading doesn't fix it, and few if any web devs deal with errors from XHR, nor even know how to, or that it's a problem)
