gRegor aaronpk, getting close on a new release of indieauth-client-php. This might be the last PR: https://github.com/indieweb/indieauth-client-php/pull/24 would you like to review before I make a new release? [schmarty] and GWG have been helping with some code review and I'm pretty sure I've kept it backwards compatible.

[snarfed] capjamesg++ re https://jamesg.blog/2022/10/21/send-webmention-in-python/ , awesome!
#
Loqi capjamesg has 31 karma in this channel over the last year (98 in all channels)
#
Loqi [James] Send a Webmention in 10 (or fewer) lines of Python code
#
[snarfed] out of curiosity, what are the `except/raise` clauses for? I can't tell that they have any effect, other than maybe mildly altering the stack trace
#
barnaby I imagine they’re there to illustrate what exceptions can be caught without doing anything specific with them
#
barnaby I think in an example like that, I’d include a print() call which uses values from the exceptions rather than just re-raising them
#
[snarfed] Or just comments
#
[snarfed] Sure
#
barnaby I appreciate examples showing what exceptions might be thrown, that’s one of my least favourite things to have to dig around in libraries to find out

#
capjamesg [snarfed] They are more to hint that you can provide custom messages for different reasons why a webmention failed to send.

#
barnaby having a break from working on my new site this evening to tidy up some taproot/indieauth issues
#
sknebel shouldnt the response type be called "Sen*t*WebmentionResponse"?
#
jacky tech-dirt-reduction++
#
Loqi tech-dirt-reduction has 1 karma over the last year
#
sknebel hm, ok, I guess it is "response from the call of send_webmention"
#
sknebel still looks weird to me though

barnaby taproot/indieauth now shows client app author information on the consent screen, if available https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/968350/197263996-f863a7b7-1288-41dd-93e6-b0ba1f6909b0.png
#
[snarfed] as an alternative example API for webmention sending, webutil's just reuses and returns the full `requests.Response` from the HTTP POST, avoids defining a new object but still exposes the result. https://oauth-dropins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/oauth_dropins.webutil.html#module-oauth_dropins.webutil.webmention
#
[snarfed] also capjamesg I assume your `send_webmention` also does discovery? do you plan to let users pass it an endpoint instead? I originally assumed it allowed that since you have a separate `discover_webmention_endpoint` fn
#
[snarfed] (that's what webutil's does)
mro joined the channel
#
capjamesg [snarfed] Yes, that function does do discovery.
#
capjamesg Could you create an issue for that feature [snarfed]?
#
capjamesg That's a great idea!
#
capjamesg [snarfed]++ for the great idea!
#
Loqi [snarfed] has 22 karma in this channel over the last year (50 in all channels)
#
capjamesg Do you think it's worth writing posts like this for other common IndieWeb things too?
#
[schmarty] barnaby++ very nice!!
#

#
barnaby [schmarty]: thanks, lots of other taproot/indieauth updates coming this evening ;)
#
barnaby that’s the only screenshot-worthy one though

#
barnaby taproot/indieauth v0.3.0 is out! couple of kinda-breaking changes, conformance with the latest version of the indieauth spec, and various QoL and documentation improvements https://github.com/Taproot/indieauth#v030

capjamesg Congratulations!

#
[schmarty] ooh breaking changes! :star-struck: (😭)
#
barnaby don}t worry, it probably won’t affect you
#
barnaby other than it being recommended to add an "issuer" key to the setup config
#
jacky oh interesting re: using h-app -> h-author info
#
barnaby which only emits an warning if omitted anyway, as previous versions of the spec did not require it and I don’t know of any clients which are strict about it
#
barnaby jacky: yeah that was jgarber’s idea, and I liked it so implemented it in my library too
#
barnaby it’s only technically a breaking change because I made some formerly public class memebrs protected, as I changed how they’re used internally
#

#
[tantek] barnaby++ congrats on the release!
