johannes.ernst,

Hey @threads, consider adding a rel=http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page entry to your WebFinger. It makes it easier to find human-readable profile pages from a fediverse handle. The profile URL that goes with a handle is hardly secret.

Use case: create clickable links from handles as we do on FediForum.org E.g. We can easily link to https://social.coop/@J12t given @j12t, but need to write Threads-specific code to do so to, say, https://www.threads.net/@pcottle from @pcottle .

pcottle,

Like so? 😇

johannes.ernst,

No # as I understand it. There are some examples here for comparison: https://fedidevs.org/reference/webfinger/

pcottle,

http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page redirects to https://webfinger.net/rel/#profile-page though so I think they end up at the same place?

johannes.ernst,

I don't think so. rfc7033#section-4.4.4 says "URI link relation type values are compared using the "Simple String Comparison" algorithm", but these two URLs aren't the same according to that algorithm, which does not include HTTP GET operations.

I started a thread over at https://matrix.to/#/!uHqAjmOtrLtidOiczC:matrix.org/$W55eqLnnuEhxfxZqB7J1U7lLkKYGjO3UzHZmW1kOMiA where one person so far has agreed with me :-)

pcottle,

Alright thanks for looking into it — you’ve convinced me 😇 will update asap

pcottle,

Diff is up

christophersu,

Diff is stamped 😛

pcottle,
timothyjchambers,

Cool to see this being collaborated on in real time…

evanprodromou,

You can do discovery of the Actor endpoint (links rel=self type="application/activity+json") and then use the "url" property of the returned actor. That doesn't require platform-specific code; it's part of the ActivityPub spec.
