Hi there,

Apologies if this isn't a suitable list; if not, please refer me to 
somewhere else.

For some time we've been allowing Yahoo login on our site via OpenID 
using the endpoint https://me.yahoo.com 
<https://me.yahoo.com/?fbclid=IwAR2SFOaGiH2ZJpgw2C13nPUK-i2LA4OmFDwcCfdE2CSiSkkCP14yI0LqYVM>. 
That's giving an error after 30 seconds or so:
Could Not Connect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Could not connect to the requested server host.

The docs at 
https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/openid_connect/?guccounter=1 
<https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/openid_connect/?guccounter=1&fbclid=IwAR3KwuvTgSIEPRjsUqRJX-3A6wjaFKEfkl6K2dbkLkucqJNMS2OF8DqqzdU> 
suggest https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth/ 
<https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth/?fbclid=IwAR1nuN7jbvCdiNxfemG1ehfBV4AXKByMDVTTmZom8ikmclYpOc34lNtCkTM> 
which gives the same error.

That looks like a Yahoo problem, but I just want to check if there's a 
known change that I'm not aware of.

Edward
