hi,

Got a problem with my openID.

A couple weeks ago I noticed I could no longer log in with my URL delegating to an underlying OpenID provider (getopenid). I checked their server and it was returning and error, so I switched over to myopenid.com. I'm still not able to log in anywhere though (luckily, my browser hasn't pushed me out of this login yet!).

I get openid endpoint not found. I'm using these elements:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> 
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http:/ /fberriman.myopenid.com/" /> 
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://fberriman.myopenid.com" /> 
<link rel="openid2.provider" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> 
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://www.myopenid.com/xrds?username=fberriman.myopenid.com" />

(in the head of fberriman.com)

Is it a mistake in the tags (copied from myopenid's help pages, just to be on the safe side), a wordpress related problem or something on the server? I can't get the openid test page to even return me an error other than the 'no endpoint found'. Any pointers greatly appreciated (I'm no server admin, mind you).

Looking at the source on http://fberriman.com/, I find:

<link rel="openid.server"
        href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
  <link rel="openid.delegate"
        href="http:/ /fberriman.myopenid.com/" />
                   ^^^ There's an extra space here

So OpenID consumers that support OpenID version 1 might get confused.

Almost. I should follow my own advice and validate pages before wondering why something is broken. Deleted an element in my haste to update my new openID which was preventing it from parsing correctly. Thanks for your help.

Hello, sorry for the non-username login (I've been chucked out, as expected). I can't respond to comments either with a cheap login like this. :)

I've tried it both with just the openid 1 tags, just the openid 2 and both (and corrected the space in the URL noticed above). None of the above work. Could it be the information sent with the page? (such as a server config change).

I assume stackoverflow supports both.

For the queries above - I'm trying to use it at stackoverflow (all sites) for a good reference point.

If this is in the wrong section - that's fine, but I'm not sure if it's server fault or implementation fault just yet.

This test site also says 'no endpoint found' http://test-id.org/OP/Sreg.aspx
