Hi, I have tried to research the problem, but do not understand the protocol good enough to find the answer. It fails in the Discovery with "No OpenID Server found at http://facebook-openid.appspot.com/" I have tried the openid url at another site, and it worked.

I have now tried your suggestion, without luck. The OpenId URL http://facebook-openid.appspot.com/ works with DISQUS. Could it might be using a standard not supported by lightopenid ?

According to Wikipedia: "Disqus is an online service that offers a centralized discussion platform for websites. It was founded in May 2007 and operates under the name of Big Head Labs Inc." lightopenid only supports the free, non-commercial OpenID standard with some extensions which are also free. Disqus isn't a standard and it's commercial, so it will never be supported by lightopenid.

1: Go to http://www.livejournal.com/identity/login.bml 2: select OpenId 3: Type in OpenId URL: http://facebook-openid.appspot.com/ 4: You will be presented with a Facebook-login When I do the follwing in my code, it will not work: $openid->identity = 'http://facebook-openid.appspot.com/';

Ok, so the reason is that this provider responds to HEAD and GET requests with different headers. That is: HEAD request doesn't return X-XRDS-Location, GET request does. The reason for this behavior is rather simple: HEAD requests return HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed. Probably because of the appspot platform. Since this behavior is compatible with the Yadis protocol (in that the HEAD request may fail), I have changed LightOpenID's behavior to retry a request with GET if HEAD returns 405.
Status:
Fixed
