UPDATE: Thanks to Will Norris for his help. I updated the code and it works now, even with Blogger.
UPDATE: Found out the hard way that this hack only works for some sites. It doesn't work for sites like Blogger, which sucks since I do read blogs there. I can't seem to isolate an OpenID request :(. So, I cheated. qedx.com is now in a frame *shudder*
Additionally, I also find myself unable to make WordPress's OpenID plugin to provide for qedx.com/blog as the blog owner. It works just fine for the author URL. Well, it does say that the plugin doesn't support WP 2.7.
I figured I would redirect http://qedx.com to this blog since it pretty much is the only active application I have the moment. The problem is I have been using http://qedx.com/ as my OpenID and just doing a regular redirect broke that. I googled it up and found this post by Will Norris. His is based on WordPress though, so I had to adjust it a bit since my origin point (qedx.com) is just an empty page.
<?php
function redirect_openid() {
if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/xrds+xml') !== FALSE) return;
if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'openid') !== FALSE) return;
if (empty($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) return;
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Permanent Redirect");
header("Location: http://qedx.com/blog/");
exit();
};
redirect_openid();
?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="openid.server"
href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
<link rel="openid.delegate"
href="http://haris.sazali.myopenid.com/" />
<link rel="openid2.local_id"
href="http://haris.sazali.myopenid.com" />
<link rel="openid2.provider"
href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location"
content="http://www.myopenid.com/xrds?username=haris.sazali.myopenid.com" />
</head>
<body> </body>
</html>
I made it so that when http://qedx.com is accessed a function redirect_openid is called. It then checks that the request is for OpenID or not. *It then checks for an empty user-agent which would also cause the function to end.* If it is then the function just ends and renders the pretty basic HTML for OpenID delegation. If it's not then it renders a HTTP 301 redirect and exits php. Pretty basic really and I am not sure if any of this is needed (I will probably need to do some more reading on this), but it works.
