"Alas, yahoo.com doesn't support Webfinger."

[Evan Prodromou]

I tried logging in with my Yahoo! ID on webfinger.org/login. It seems
to work, but farther down the page I see,

"Alas, yahoo.com doesn't support Webfinger."

http://yahoo.com/.well-known/host-meta and
http://webfinger.yahooapis.com/?id=evanpr...@yahoo.com seems to be
correct. Is there something else wrong?

Ahh, it's probably that Yahoo has the old XRD format up for their
host-meta document:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<XRD xmlns='http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/xri/xrd-1.0'>
<Host xmlns='http://host-meta.net/xrd/1.0'>yahoo.com</Host>
<Link>
<Title>WebFinger</Title>
<Rel>http://webfinger.info/rel/service</Rel>
<Rel>describedby</Rel>
<URITemplate>http://webfinger.yahooapis.com/?id={%id}</URITemplate>
</Link>
</XRD>

versus

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<XRD xmlns='http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/xri/xrd-1.0'>
<Link rel="lrdd" template="http://webfinger.yahooapis.com/?id={%id}">
<Title>Webfinger</title>
</Link>
</XRD>

Yahoo uses an old specification of XRD which is not compatible with
the current 1.0.

Yahoo folks: Is there any chance of getting this revv'd to match the
final 1.0 spec?

Hopefully in two weeks (I’m told).

Thanks, that sheds light on the redfinger ticket I filed due to an
except being thrown when parsing yahoo's host-meta document.
