[OpenID] Yahoo issue

[Peter Williams]

Url to the google endpoint pls?

Are they an rp, or just yet another dominant hub? (in my view, every large portal that refuses to be an rp is a nail in coffin of the uci story)

The fun thing is that 12m ago, we asked google to be an idp, allowing consumers to wander over to our realty portal (so they could talk to their agent/realtor). 12 months ago they just looked a us as stupid for even asking! times change.

fyi: Google is running the OpenID4Java libraries.

Most forms Sxipper can detect. If not, then you can train Sxipper to  
recognize your form as an OpenID form.
