@lahacker Just to be clarify, I didn’t meant to imply that the Blog Archive Format was deprecated. Just that I based the GitHub support on the same basic structure. I’d still love to see people support Blog Archive Format! I think it can be useful to have a single file to back up or move around.

The format is basically just a ZIP (renamed .bar) with “index.html” (MF2), “feed.json” (JSON Feed), and optionally a folder like “uploads” that contains photos and other things referenced in both the HTML and JSON.

↩️ https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/ ? Mais le problème est toujours là : - Demander une URL d'authentification c'est complexe, ça ne fonctionne pas en pratique - La plupart des gens ne veulent pas créer une auth sur un service tiers, donc rien ne fonctionnera sans volonté des gros

↩️ Tout ce qu'on peut faire c'est éventuellement continuer à proposer les boutons pertinents comme aujourd'hui, et mettre *en plus* un truc genre indieauth en bas. Sauf que pour l'essentiel des services en ligne, cette option "en plus" c'est l'option de trop, inutilisée

aaronpk these SSRF resources you just added to /IndieAuth 😱
#
aaronpk
Right?
#
aaronpk
Makes me never want to parse a URL again
#
[schmarty]
i kind of love how this all falls out from different libs and tools (or in PHP's case, different parts of the same damn language) using different URL parsing algorithms.
#
[schmarty]
like a classic case of: you should only have one URL parser for frak's sake!
#
aaronpk
Sure but like curl is not php but it can be used from php and other languages and that's kind of where the problem starts
#
[schmarty]
right and curl doesn't expose its URL parsing i guess so you won't defer to it
#
aaronpk
Yep it's all a mess computers were a mistake
#
[schmarty]
meanwhile curl declared wontfix on the whitespace issue so 😭 😭 😭
#
[schmarty]
like i guess a workaround is to use a strong parsing library to parse the URL, validate the URL, and then _rebuild_ the URL from those parsed and validated parts before passing to anything that fetches.

maybe teaching sand to do math was a mistake

i really want to just implement a default "safe mode" in my URL parser that raises UncoolURL at anything even remotely uncool
#
lahacker
just live with it and see what kind/class of URLs i'd be prevented from using.. like 99.99% of URLs are pretty decent, supporting that long tail of the spec is just not worth it

lahacker
i guess "cool" URLs were ones that don't change.. maybe "IllegibleURL" or heck just "DangerousURL"
#
[tantek]
toss in a regex and ship it 🔥
#
[tantek]
yeah I like supporting a subset of URLs that are actually useful/practical
#
lahacker
heh well my "parser" is just a shiny wrapper around Python's urllib but the idea would be to perform some kind of sanity checks before handing it off

feels like the URL equivalent of POSH

This is an interesting idea - I wonder if it could work for private posts https://css-tricks.com/learning-to-simplify/
#
gRegorLove_
Neat browser extension idea, though
#
[snarfed]
should work :crossed_fingers:

aaronpk do you have any other users for OYG’s yet?

aaronpk
I haven't launched it at all yet

Might be time tho
