[OpenID] Looking for OpenID library authors to help integrate AJAX selector with their own libraries

[Andrew Arnott]

Hey folks,

I've finally got some time to make the UX offered by
http://openidux.dotnetopenauth.net/ available to other libraries besides
DotNetOpenAuth.  I'm planning on having the regular DNOA build spit out a
.zip file of all the client resources necessary for that UX, but it will
depend on the server-side maintaining a few "contracts" as outlined below.
 If anyone is familiar enough with their favorite OpenID library to feel
confident making these changes and has the desire to do so, please contact
me so we can get this done.

The three contracts are:

   1. An HTTP GET url that receives an OpenID identifier and returns a
   JSON-serialized object containing the immediate and setup auth requests for
   that identifier.
   2. An HTTP GET/POST url that receives the positive assertion from the OP
   but instead of processing the assertion it merely renders javascript to
   forward the assertion to a parent window/frame.
   3. An HTTP POST url that receives the user-selected positive assertion
   from the main window, verifies it, and actually logs the user in.

It's pretty simple stuff.  There are some specific details on #1 regarding
extra parameters to include in the auth requests so that the AJAX client can
track its own auth progress, but it's not too tough.

I hope there are some interested devs out there that can help out.
