I replied to the following: ↷

Few quick thoughts from first read, will try to give more detailed feedback later.


Header


X-Webmention-Status



Obligatory reference to RFC6648


status codes


How does 401 happen? 201 wouldn't appear in a callback, would it (since it basically says "nothing happened yet to send you callback about")?


rel-values


Using rel="status webmention-status" in my headers and HTML to allow for the discovery of the Webmention status page



Where would you place those? Not entirely clear to me. I.e. in the response to which request?

TIL about RFC6648!

A 401 would happen if someone attempted to receive a private Webmention, but the credentials they've received were incorrect (like the code expiring too soon). I would show a 201 in a callback response only if we'd detected an asynchronous Webmention endpoint from the provided parameters, and this would signal that they haven't called us back yet. They could never call us back—which, for me, is okay, and I can treat that as a 200 after a period of time.
