MSG & OpenID update 2
Since my post last week, I’ve been trying to get the little bugs fixed up. For the first problem with LiveJournal OpenIDs, the reason turned out to be due to the fact that the parameters needed to be received by the LiveJournal server as a post request, and the association request was being sent as a get – hence the failure. This appears to be due to v1 of the OpenID spec stating that association request parameters should be sent in the post, but in OpenID spec v2 my reading is that parameters can be sent with either a get or post.
In the end I used a different library (openid4java) instead – I couldn’t figure a way to just ‘turn off’ the association requests (they are only optional) with the library I was using, and this appears to have fixed the issue with the delegation too.
So our OpenID server is using the JOID library but the MSG client is using the openid4java library
