[OpenID] Yahoo issue

[Shane B Weeden]

That is probably just a sign that the site doesn't support XRDS discovery, 
and after all this is an optional part of the RP spec. Plenty of RP 
implementations don't, particularly 1.1 RP's. Any outlook on correcting 
the assocication error response from yahoo I found?

Thanks,
Shane.

Hi John,

Blogger's support for Directed Identity doesn't seem to fully work with 
Yahoo's OP. For instance, I can't post a comment by typing in 
"yahoo.com" as my OP Identifier, but "me.yahoo.com" does seem to work.

http://yahoo.com returns a redirect to http://www.yahoo.com which will 
conditionally insert an X-XRDS-Location: HTTP header if your RP sends an 
HTTP Accept: containing "application/xrds+xml"

Thanks
Allen
