[OpenID] Flickr / Yahoo OpenID implementation

[Ben Schwarz]

Hi All,

I'm looking to implement Flickr OpenID with Yahoo, unless I've  
incorrectly understood the specification; I believe they've  
implemented incorrectly / poorly.

I make a request to auth with http://flickr.com/photos/benschwarz,  
which goes to yahoo; it allows me to auth successfully.
The identity url returned by default, however is something like http://me.yahoo.com/some-hashed-url

Without the correct identity url being returned, I have no way of  
knowing that my users are who they say they are.

Have I missed a detail in using OpenID or have Yahoo implemented poorly?


Cheers,


Ben
