Rack::Webfinger

A very basic first pass at a Rack middleware to serve up Webfinger requests. There isn't much to serving up Webfinger requests, so this middleware won't do much.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add rack-webfinger

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install rack-webfinger

In your config.ru add:

    require 'rack/webfinger'

    use Rack::Webfinger, provider

provider must be a callable (lambda, proc, class responding to # call) that takes a resource name and an array of rel filters in. You can choose to ignore the rel filters - filtering will be done for you.

You need to return a Hash of this format:

    {
      aliases: ["list","of","aliases"],
      links: [
        { "rel": "rel url", "type": "text/html", "href": "link" }
      ]
    }

This will be simplified, with constants for common rel values, and defaults available.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
