I wrote FEP-61cf: The OpenWebAuth Protocol almost three years ago and I think it's time to mark it as
I think there's enough detail in there for anyone who wants to interoperate with Hubzilla etc. I used it as a reference while writing my own implementation and it seemed to do the trick - though I can't be entirely sure that I wasn't relying on memory to some extent.
Originally I wanted to figure out how OpenWebAuth authenticates/authorizes media fetches, but it turns out that this was done by a more-or-less completely separate mechanism, which I don't think needs to be described here.
There has also been a bit of discussion about a possible "next generation" OpenWebAuth protocol, but if this ever goes anywhere, it can be described in a new FEP.
So - does anyone have any final comments on this FEP?
Has anyone (other than me) tried to implement it? Even if it's just a half-finished sketch rather than a proper implementation, it would still be good to hear any feedback anyone might have.
If there's nothing substantial then I'll aim to set this to
#ActivityPubDev #FediDev #FEP #Hubzilla #Streams #Forte
