New Subscriber Client
Antoine Imbert
As Julien noticed, I’ve put that on Github yesterday:
Plack::App::PubSubHubbub::Subscriber
https://github.com/ant0ine/Plack-App-PubSubHubbub-Subscriber
This is a perl subscriber client based on Plack. I currently use it
with Starman and I successfully subscribed to a few thousand feeds.
Feel free to fork it and to give me your feedback.
BTW, here is mine about the recent spec change discussions:
The verify_token removal:
This client supports the verify_token, if it’s removed from the specs,
I think I’ll just move the token to the callback path, and the API of
the client will stay the same. Note that removing verify_token
simplifies the specs, but not the implementation of the subscriber.
The arbitrary content:
I like that a lot, and this client makes no assumption about the
content, it just gives you the content-type and the raw content. Also,
if the arbitrary content does not contain the topic, then the
verify_token included in the callback path makes a lot of sense, it
allows you to associate a ping with a subscription.
I think the verify_token could be removed from the spec, and that
adding a token or id in the path of each callback url should be
described as a good practice. That would pave the way for arbitrary
content pings.

The main benefit is that the token is now available when a ping is received.
(There is a config flag to disable this and keep the token as the
hub.verify_token query argument.)

This is now closer to the spec changes recently proposed.
Let me know if you want to move forward with the 0.4 spec, I'll be
happy to help.
