[Solved] [GitHub Bug #907] OpenID broken for months

Even on this site.

I want to draw attention to GitHub Bug #907

Many of us are reliant on openid, this seem to be a conflict with recent authentication code.

It is not to do with the lightopenid code as far as I cans see. I have used the existing version and the curl version and they both validate (some minor changes are need for shared hosting but that is expected).

I wonder if it is to do with the postback.

grep is your friend.

    I'll ping @Todd to see if he has the time to fix for .18, but sadly this may get left behind a while longer; we're stretched a bit thin. :/

    Meanwhile I'm looking into this, if it wasn't so elusive I would have fixed it by now. I'm going to go back a few versions, becuase I don't think the plugin code has changed much.

    I recommended in the next update that you use the curl version of LightOpenID, there is no good reason to use f* based transfers. There is a little modification that makes is shared hosting friendly.

    I think the twitter, or another authenticator used curl for everything except to get the credentials, bit of a waste.

    Solved. See GitHub Bug #907

    Once openid is validated. It needs to be carried over the various stages. Otherwise you end up going round in circles, it can't be validated twice.
