saranix uw_fluxus: after giving it some thought, I suppose you are right that usenet has had its fair share of success in this space. I mean, specially if you peel back the protocol and see that it's basically a hybrid between email and forums...

saranix [and federated, not to forget]

aaronpk has anyone run an activitypub server on http2?
#
nightpool[m] i think there are a couple mastodon servers configured for it
#
aaronpk I think i'm having trouble with signature validation because of it
#
nightpool[m] inch resting..............
#
aaronpk i'm getting values like "date: mon, 23 jul 2018 17:39:41 gmt" whereas normally I get uppercase "Mon"
#
aaronpk also "keyId" in the signature header shows up as "keyid"
#
nightpool[m] i'm pretty sure the spec was written for http2 so let me check the spe
#
aaronpk yeah I thought I remembered seeing something in the http sig spec that says to lowercase all hedaer names
#
nightpool[m] yeah definitely all header names
#
nightpool[m] but not header values
#
nightpool[m] https://w3c-dvcg.github.io/http-signatures/#canonicalization has some examples
#
nightpool[m] i think clients are allowed to specify any Date they want though
#
nightpool[m] the case-sensitivity of keyId seems to be less clear
#
aaronpk k, I think we tracked this down to a bug in the client library, which seems to have read the http2 spec and lowercased everything including the values
#
aaronpk which of course breaks everything because even the signature data is all lowercased lol
#
nightpool[m] lol
#
nightpool[m] which client library?
#
nightpool[m] anyway yeah this 100% breaks base64 encoding haha
#
aaronpk a perl one
#
donpdonp nightpool[m]: a ticket has been filed. its a new-ish perl6 lib https://github.com/croservices/cro-http/issues/44
#
Loqi [donpdonp] #44 the header value is being lower-cased with http/2 (should be just the key)

JasonRobinson[m] AP usage is exploding. It feels like daily hearing of new platforms adding support. Today, two content creation platforms, a new platform called "Naamio" (not yet released) and https://write.as/ - which is some kind of commercial offering

Loqi [@ilikebeans] Noticed https://fediverse.network crawling for stats while working on @writeas__ #ActivityPub support, so I made a #golang library for adding NodeInfo to any federated project. https://github.com/writeas/go-nodeinfo
