Hi Pat,<div>The normal behavior for an OP is to assume the user is in the loop. With javascript enabled the form POST submit should happen automatically, for the vast majority of time this is not pestering the user.</div>

I have an interesting problem.<br>
<br>
I am trying to make a CheckIDRequest along with a few experimental AX.<br>
Problem is that my attributes are fairly large and could overflow the<br>
GET.<br>
The Janrain Ruby library detects that and turns the response into a<br>
secondary form. A user has to hit continue for the form to do a<br>
post. This is fine if there is a user in the loop (although confusing<br>
at best) but this is not my case. I do not have a user in the loop.<br>
I am really trying to authenticate an application consumer that<br>
happens to have an openid and trying to get its pubic key in order to<br>
do the OAuth dance using AX... cool stuff...<br>
<br>
My questions are:<br>
<br>
Is this the normal behavior of an OP?<br>
<br>
Should I try to patch the server library to return a directPOST?<br>
<br>
Or get my consumer to break down the request in two parts? I am not<br>
quite sure how the second part would look like though...<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Pat.<br>
