I am just working on foafssl.org now.

It is intended as a stepping stone, to help people get going without needing to set up the most expensive bit of foaf+ssl, namely - until DNSsec perhaps - paying a CA for a server certificate.

There are a huge number of parameters that one could return along with the webid.

We could just re-use the openid attribute exchange spec here, but that won't be something I can do immediately.

Can you not GET the WebId and get all the information from it in RDF? That gives you a lot more than what foafssl.org can offer you.

Just a request, I don't really need it. It would just let me be lazy ;)

Yes, it's a good idea. I'll add it to the list of things to do, but it will take some time to get to.

Monkeyspphere could let you skip that part and go with WOT for
authentification. :)

will foaf+ssl work if you install a self signed server cert?

True. But it's not a good idea to be on two bleeding edges at once. With foaf+ssl we are leading a new project. If we tie our demos to another research project, then there will be a double learning curve for people to go through:
foaf+ssl and monkeysphere

Monkeysphere probably requires setting up a plugin in the browser, and if we ask users to do that there may well be an amalgamation in first time users thinking that foaf+ssl requires the plugin.

So that would just slow the development of foaf+ssl at present, and introduce more complexity and debugging....

It does. The Cheese lover's club has a self signed server cert.

http://esw.w3.org/Foaf%2Bssl/RelyingParties

It is good that we have one demo with a self-signed-server cert but if all of them had that, then the ease of use story of foaf+ssl would be lost.

Yes, I run my own personal test version on amazon ec2 with a self signed cert (snakeoil)

Hi

You might want to look at sparcool.net
Which returns json representations.

We also do something similiar on publickey.info . Although we would
need to extend it out a little bit more. To give access to more
relations.

Thanks
