#
tomlarkworthy I don't think http is safe so I would be no.
#
beko !tell [snarfed] Seems that Bridgy does not accept re-publishing. Probably because the old job is still hanging on "Processing"
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[tantek] beko, I think that's "expected" behavior, that is, if Bridgy Publish thinks it has handled a permalink already, then it does nothing. I've had to update (change) my permalinks in order to get Bridgy to re-publish something (e.g. when I've manually deleted the POSSE copy due to an error etc.)
#
[tantek] and by change my permalink I mean the slug, which doesn't break my permalinks per good /URL_design

#
[snarfed] you’re both right 😁 tantek is right that bridgy doesn’t allow re-publishing (eg to update) a post it’s already published: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/84
#
Loqi [snarfed] #84 allow updating a published post
#
[snarfed] in this case though, the publish attempt died halfway through due to an underlying infra failure, and it never actually completed
#
[tantek] and this is a good reason to have non-essential slugs in your URLs
#
[snarfed] huh i don’t follow
#
[snarfed] oh as a workaround? i guess. awkward solution, but sure
#
[tantek] snarfed, for the editing scenario
#
[tantek] publish, Bridgy Publish POSSE. see mistake, edit post & permalink slug, delete POSSE copy, re-run Bridgy Publish POSSE.
#
[snarfed] yeah, i get it. just unfortunate that bridgy’s plumbing tail here is wagging the URL UX dog
#
[tantek] editing is a real use-case, and there's no less awkward way I know of doing that with POSSE (that uses Bridgy Publish)
#
[snarfed] beko i’ve manually marked that old publish attempt as errored, you should be able to retry now. thanks for your patience!
