[pfefferle] [manton] I found the problem, why @-mentions of http://micro.blog profiles do not work: we require a `url` field and http://micro.blog has only `id` I will add that as fallback with the next release!

GWG [pfefferle]: Got a minute re Webmention? There are a few things I wanted to run by you?
#
[pfefferle] sure

#
[manton] [pfefferle] Great, thanks for looking into it! I can add `url` too… Need to figure out what value makes sense for http://Micro.blog there.
#
GWG [pfefferle]: The issue is how to eliminate dependency on pings_open
#
[manton] [pfefferle] Curious if WordPress assumes that `url` is the actor URL, or more like a web home page URL? Or does it matter?
#
[pfefferle] it doesn't matter... I think
#
[pfefferle] It's simply to have something to link to
#
[pfefferle] because it seems to guaranteed that the ID alway returns HTML
#
[pfefferle] because it seems to NOT guaranteed that the ID alway returns HTML
#
[manton] Got it, thanks. I’ll add `url` today, should be an easy change to roll out.
#
[snarfed] we need a way for AP implementations to track all the little quirks we add that are required for interop and who they're for 😢

#
[manton] Yes, I wish I had taken better notes about that. Almost like an annotated JSON example that says why certain fields are there.
#
[pfefferle] [dshanske] the WordPress API integration in the Webmention API is completely broken and "get_header_links_by" seems to also not work like expected 😞
#
[pfefferle] I think we need some unit tests!
#
[snarfed] tests++
#
Loqi tests has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
GWG [pfefferle]: My original version was tested, but there were some iterations. Agree unit tests make sense.

[manton] [pfefferle] By the way, I added that `url` field earlier and @-mentions from http://WP.com works great to http://Micro.blog now. I decided to just make the `id` and `url` match for now, until I fully understand how other clients might use it.
#
[snarfed] [manton] I think it's generally the frontend/human-facing URL, eg https://mas.to/@snarfed/109668310494520038 vs id https://mas.to/users/snarfed/statuses/109668310494520038 which serves the AS2 object
