I'm looking for a suggested Content-Type to use when sending OP direct messages (Key-Value Form). The default web servers are sending (at least mine) is text/html. But not only is text/html inaccurate (as is text/plain, to a lesser degree), but some free hosts (like GoDaddy's free hosting) will tack on an advertising <script> tag at the end of any message leaving the server if it is text/html or text/plain, which invalidates the Key-Value Encoding. <br>
<br>I have tested application/openidkvf and that allows an OP to be hosted on GoDaddy free hosting sites without having its direct message responses corrupted by the <script> tag. But I see a few issues with this content-type:<br>
<ol><li>Some firewalls may block it as an unknown content-type (I've already heard reports of firewalls blocking <span class="h3">application/xrds+xml).</span></li><li><span class="h3">It doesn't look that nice.</span></li>
<li><span class="h3">Other OpenID Providers may be using something different, and it would be nice to standardize.</span></li></ol>Is there any content-type that others are using for this, or that you might recommend?<br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br>-- <br>Andrew Arnott
