ulhar4409 ok, now my micropub server handles un/delete actions yay
#
ulhar4409 undelete had a humorous hiccup because I use a page's html to store the internal post uuid, but my delete action was initially deleting that same html, so undelete couldn't find the post to restore :P

simpleauthority Hello all, I'm doing the micropub.rocks tests on my micropub server and the test for "Rejects unauthorized access tokens" requires the endpoint to return 401. However, in this case, the spec requires 403 since the token is valid but simply does not have the correct scope. Is this test outdated for the spec?
#
aaronpk apparently this is a problem with micropub.rocks https://github.com/aaronpk/micropub.rocks/issues/101
#
simpleauthority aha okay
#
simpleauthority Thanks for the repo - I should check there first.

#
ulhar4409 the setup is a little cursed but now I have a dedicated form on my site for when I want to delete a post
#
ulhar4409 "the setup" being that I log in with a username and password and then authenticate for micropub and get my site to send itself micropub requests
#
ulhar4409 also a good foundation for if i decide to make a full Micropub app later on, because now I have a basic idea of how the auth flow works

[tantek] lol this is a great opinionated spirit of indieweb post https://susam.net/no-query-strings.html key part being NOT to add query strings to other people's URLs
#
[capjamesg] I don’t like when people add query strings either. I always have to remove them.
#
[capjamesg] I especially don’t like long URLs with query strings that do nothing visible for the user.

#
[tantek] Now wondering if I should build a snarky error/warning banner whenever someone puts in some creepy analytics crap query string on one of my permalinks
#
[tantek] Like "fyi: whoever gave you the link you just clicked to get here doesn't care about your privacy"
#
ZodiacalComet automatically adding `rel=mysite` to all external links energy
#
ZodiacalComet or was it `ref`? i don't remember
