[OpenID] CheckIDRequest with Big AX

[Pat Cappelaere]

I have an interesting problem.

I am trying to make a CheckIDRequest along with a few experimental AX.
Problem is that my attributes are fairly large and could overflow the  
GET.
The Janrain Ruby library detects that and turns the response into a  
secondary form.  A user has to hit continue for the form to do a  
post.  This is fine if there is a user in the loop (although confusing  
at best) but this is not my case.  I do not have a user in the loop.   
I am really trying to authenticate an application consumer that  
happens to have an openid and trying to get its pubic key in order to  
do the OAuth dance using AX... cool stuff...

My questions are:

Is this the normal behavior of an OP?

Should I try to patch the server library to return a directPOST?

Or get my consumer to break down the request in two parts?  I am not  
quite sure how the second part would look like though...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Pat.
