aaronpk FYI slack just sent a notice that they are going to now completely delete messages older than a year on free plans, rather than just make them invisible
#
aaronpk i don't think that changes anything for us

[Joe_Crawford] I really appreciate the way this is handled for IndieWeb. I said as much at the tail end of https://artlung.com/blog/2024/06/25/slack-costs-money-of-course/ this morning, contemplating the change.

janboddez May be me but I can't log in to the wiki (using WordPress + IndieAuth). Somehow the client discovery logic is seeing JSON rather than the HTML it expects? Not sure if an issue with the plugin or Indielogin.com or ...?

#
gRegor what is .bit
#
Loqi bit is an experiment to have a non-centralized TLD where domains can be bought with namecoin (cryptocurrency) instead of via registrars. At least one community member has been locked out of their .bit domain due to issues with the transaction process. [1] https://indieweb.org/.bit
#
janboddez Commented on an earlier (but unrelated, I now understand) issue: https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/issues/256#issuecomment-2189878274. May belong in the WordPress channel, but it looks like it might be indielogin.com acting up? Unless it's just me, haha (even though other clients work fine).
#
Loqi [preview] [janboddez] > Now, if only I knew why my server isn't getting any HTML at all ... Ha, I now know. It's giving me ... JSON. Response body is the following ... `{"client_id":"https:\/\/indielogin.com\/id","client_name":"IndieLogin.com","client_uri":"https:\/...
#
aaronpk Oh I'm surprised the error handling in the Wordpress plugin is that poor. I changed IndieLogin.com to return JSON there because I assumed the server would fall back to just showing the URL if the metadata discovery failed
#
janboddez Ha, I just figured it out. Guess it's on the to-do list: https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/issues/267
#
Loqi [preview] [dshanske] #267 Update Discovery with Support for New Proposed Discovery Method
#
janboddez Good to know though. Looks like I myself have to update https://github.com/janboddez/laravel-indieauth/blob/main/src/ClientDiscovery.php then, haha. (Even if I haven't used it in ages.)
#
aaronpk Yeah. But it should also handle failures better
#
janboddez Guess all of the WordPress people's tokens never expire. I have to admit, I haven't logged in in a million years.
#
aaronpk Well it's not Wordpress that sets the lifetime of being logged in to the wiki

#
[dshanske] Sorry, just landed.... I just need a concurring review to update the plugin. I can ping pfefferle
#
janboddez No worries, David! Take your time
#
GWG Wondering if anyone else can look
#
GWG IRC just came on
#
aaronpk Just make sure it handles errors gracefully!
#
GWG aaronpk: I'll add more error code, but now it looks for JSON
#
aaronpk What happens if it doesn't find json? What happens if it doesn't find the properties it expects?
#
GWG aaronpk: If it doesn't find JSON it looks for HTML.. but I should have it check for either
#
GWG neither
