You may be able to map /.well-known/host-meta to /yourpath/.well-known/host-meta in Apache config or equivalent.
-
it appears that addressing @lstench's new username/instance by acct uri doesn't work because her host meta doesn't resolve.
-
I've been wondering that myself… not for a sub-path, but for sub-domains. Please let us know!
-
WebFinger and OpenID piss me off slightly; authors didn't like the !SemWeb or Web devs community, so made their own custom XML formats

By subdomains, are you talking about relating sub.example.com to example.com?
-
Yes; I want people to subscribe to/with samat@example.com, but my actual StatusNet instance be at status.example.com. Looks cleaner.

#webfinger is just a means to an end. Get your link to the foaf/atom document and don't look back
-
…if a FOAF/Atom document exists. A problem w/ WebFinger: need different parsers for all this crap!
-
As someone who had to write said parser for #Webfinger, I feet your pain. Would you suggest RDF/XML in it place?
-
Back when OpenID and WebFinger were created… yeah, RDF/XML would be better than what they use now
-
If they were forward-thinking enough then or doing it now, JSON or JSON-LD (an RDF/JSON serialization), no doubt
-
The only real issue I see with that is support for URI templates. JSON-LD would work for user-meta, but not really the host-meta.

There's a JSON version of the XRD thing. http://hueniverse.com/2010/05/jrd-the-other-resource-descriptor/

Neat. But… does anyone use it? Checked a few sites, didn't see JSON representations available (e.g. added ?format=json to end of hosts-meta)
-
@rozzin Unfortunately not gotten it worked out, but have some stuff bookmarked to look at…
-
@rozzin See http://identi.ca/url/68972069 ; uses WebFinger "aliases"
-
@rozzin Well, yes — but what's the magic that goes into that file?
-
@samatjain, I just took what StatusNet generated for the subdomain, copied it to the parent, and fixed the <hm:Host> to match the parent.
-
Awesome… I figured it was something easy, but WebFinger's documentation sucks, spec is vague (as specs tend to be)
-
Actually, doesn't this redirect ALL WebFinger requests? What if you want to redirect just StatusNet/OStatus stuff?
-
One word: blah.
-
@samatjain, I could be wrong—I just vaguely recall seeing something wrong when #WebFinger's `profile-page' link went outside of #StatusNet.
-
I wanted OpenID discovery…
-
-
@rozzin But I want to keep using my own! I guess it's still on the list of things to play with…
