vanitas_gloam i've been working on a webmention endpoint for my site. still some work to be done but got some good progress
#
vanitas_gloam so far i got an allowlist based config and it validates if the url is a valid reply and the canonical url of the post. then it saves the url to a file
#
vanitas_gloam the idea is that the list of urls in the file can later be given to something else that then gets the full data of the reply and puts it into the hugo data
#
Zegnat vanitas_gloam: that is a great way to start! My webmention endpoint was the same thing, in fact, I also just accepted links that were not links to my post, because for just storing them in a file that did not matter and I could take care of filtering later :D
#
vanitas_gloam ohh neat! i could prolly get away with not validating too but i am very cautious about any spam ever. i'm trying to make sure that if a post fails to validate that it tells why tho. currently the criteria are: valid u-reply-to, source url matches the reply post's u-url, author url is on the same host as the reply
#
vanitas_gloam the post u-url thingy is mainly to make sure it's the actual canonical url of the post that gets sent to avoid duplicate entries
#
Loqi hey vanitas_gloam, it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (Microformats), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
vanitas_gloam sure!
