Hi,
I noticed a strange behavior lately when people tried to login on my
website using OpenID and Yahoo. When we went online a couple of months ago, everything worked as expected using "http://yahoo.com" as the provider URL for Yahoo. But since a couple of weeks, login/registration stopped working. The error occurres in python-openid, in this
code block:
CODE
result = DiscoveryResult(uri)
resp = fetchers.fetch(uri, headers={'Accept': YADIS_ACCEPT_HEADER})
if resp.status not in (200, 206):
raise DiscoveryFailure(
'HTTP Response status from identity URL host is not 200. '
'Got status %r' % (resp.status,), resp)
The value of
uri is "
http://yahoo.com", the value of
YADIS_ACCEPT_HEADER is
'text/html; q=0.3, application/xhtml+xml; q=0.5, application/xrds+xml'. If I use "http://me.yahoo.com", everything works as expected. But on sites like
Stackoverflow, "http://yahoo.com" works, too.
Is this a problem with python-openid or did Yahoo change something in their OpenID configuration? As I said, "http://yahoo.com" used to work just fine until a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for your help!
Benjamin
