What happened to `https://w3id.org/security/v1`? This page now leads to an non existing Github page, it seems.

heluecht: no clue. maybe ask the distributed credentials group? I don't remember if anything ever lived at that page or if it was just the URI
#

cc rhiaro (IRC) might know?

At Friendica we are normalizing incoming messages - and the LD signature fields are defined at the URL.

ah, yep, it appears to have been a context url, not necessarily just a namespace.
#
nightpool[m]
yikes, that's not great! I think we have a cached version in the Mastodon repo that you can use in the meantime
#
heluecht[m]
Thanks! I hope that this URL will resolve soon. But in the meantime I'm coding some workaround.

Great!

I definitely recommend caching the context payload heavily, like Mastodon does
#
heluecht[m]
Yeah, indeed.
#
nightpool[m]
besides the reliability issue, I have to imagine the w3 servers aren't exactly happy about the bandwidth usage.
#

Also I saw that Mastodon does provide that link only with profiles, not with posts.
#
nightpool[m]
I think that's because posts don't use any properties from that contact

I really have to have a look into our Json-LD-Library how this is doing the caching.
#
heluecht[m]
Well, the "signature" is in that context.
#
nightpool[m]
hmm.... when we insert the signature we should be inserting the context value.
#
nightpool[m]
but if you just fetch the post there won't be a signature normally
#
nightpool[m]
I'm not 100% sure, I know we have some code that removes unneeded context statements and I assume that's related.
#
heluecht[m]
I tested today with mastodon.social. The link isn't provided, even when the signature is transmitted.
#
heluecht[m]
Okay ... on my both servers and my desktop PC I still get the 404 when fetching the URL via curl. But in my browser (on the same machine) it works.

I guess I just go to sleep and have a look tomorrow :-)
