[Forest_Johnson] and I'm wondering if perhaps I return a 500 response, my client code can detect that and retry
# [Rob_Nugen] ↩️ It is correct as best I can tell. I have it set to `https://b.robnugen.com/micropub/`
# [Rob_Nugen] ↩️ https://quill.p3k.io/settings still says "no media endpoint" after I relogin with my url ``https://www.robnugen.com/``
# [Forest_Johnson] maybe I could find a better code for that. Something which no-one else will use, like `507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV)`
# [Forest_Johnson] or even the 418 teapot code
# [Rob_Nugen] ↩️ Huh. If I misspell the config.php filename to `confog.php` everything still works as before. >_>
# [Rob_Nugen] That config file is apparently not being read. BRB.

# [Forest_Johnson] what do you mean ?
# [Forest_Johnson] the point was I wanted to use a special code so I could tell the difference between a service worker fetch rejection and a bona-fide server error

# [Forest_Johnson] BTW if anyone is curious i figured it out and fixed it !
# [Forest_Johnson] here is teh detailed answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/66524008/1592004
# [Forest_Johnson] Here is a video of the beautiful (at least to me XD) results https://picopublish.sequentialread.com/files/pwm_update.webm
# [Forest_Johnson] video shows me deleting the local cache and watching it repopulate. It even handles errors when the happen (rarely now that its rate-limited to 4 at a time) and re-tries
# [Forest_Johnson] the verbaige on the welcome screen needs to be updated now that im using backblaze instead of S3 and the key derivation is way better so shorter passphrases are safer

# Saphire [Forest_Johnson]: btw, are you aware of `async function()
{...}`?# Saphire Also wrapping an XHR in a promise is really really nice >.>

# 
[KevinMarks] Why use 200 for a failure? Wouldn't picking a more suitable error code make sense?
# Saphire Probably placeholder?
# [KevinMarks] I find that async tends to make the error case less visible than using then/catch as there is not as natural a place to put it - you queue up async things and catch at the bottom, so dealing with one async failing is less clear

# [KevinMarks] Otoh I also like Promise.all() which has a similar problem but waits in parallel rather than sequentially. The deeper problem is that expressing these kinds of branching and recombinant execution chains in linear text is a poor fit.

jeremycherfas Has anyone noticed changes in their Instagram feed? In the past two days, the caption I receive from Bibliogram now contains the HTML code for `img src` that it didn't contain before.

# jeremycherfas Not too difficult to fix, when I have time, but unfortunately I don't have any examples stored from before the change happened.

[schmarty] thanks for the heads-up, [scojjac]. [eddie] is the creator and maintainer of Indigenous and may be able to get the callback URL server back up and running for authentication!
# [schmarty] [scojjac] all of those things happened, yes! [eddie] has also been around in the chat intermittently to resolve issues like this in the time since then.
# [schmarty] haha i don't think there was any way for you to know that last part! 😅
# [schmarty] i appreciate all the digging you did to get a clear picture of where the project has gone!
# [schmarty] when the client is an app running on your phone, not really. part of the authentication flow requires the auth server to redirect a browser to the app's callback URL. in theory that could be a URL on your phone that the app has registered to handle. in practice i think this server-redirect was chosen instead.
# [schmarty] from my limited understanding of iOS, most app URL handlers are for app-proprietary "protocols" like "myapp://somethingsomethingsomething" (though i am aware that some apps seem to be able to "catch" full URLs, like the YouTube app will catch youtube.com URLs... usually).
# [schmarty] the indieauth spec makes it difficult or impossible for a client to ask an auth server to redirect back to a URL with a protocol other than http/https.
