intertwingly

Nothing. Now it's mt-thread.cgi that's doing wrong. I forgot to mention that it needs a couple of changes to operate in a TrackBack 1.1 world, and then I made one of the changes wrong in my copy. I'd guess David hasn't made either one.

mt-thread's still only looking for TB 1.0 RDF with the ping url in an about attribute, so:

my($ping_url) = $rdf =~ m!about="([^"]+)"!;

has to become:

my($ping_url);
if ($rdf =~ m!trackback:ping="([^"]+)"!) {
$ping_url = $1;
} elsif ($rdf =~ m!about="([^"]+)"!) {
$ping_url = $1;
}

and also mt-thread.cgi assumes that there will always already be a query in the url, so rather than:

$tb_url .= '&__mode=rss';

we need:

$tb_url .= ($tb_url =~ /\?/ ? '&' : '?') . '__mode=rss';


With those two changes, you're connected.

I just sent a trackback, and it got refused because you're making Except a requirement, which the spec says it isn't. Obviously, this means I'm going to have to put excerpt in, but thought you might want to know...

Trackback from Aquarionics

Sorry, I didn't realize we hadn't updated the version available for download (although we had written a newer version). I updated it now, so it's available here. It should work just as Phil's change does, above, basically.

No description, but otherwise looks OK to me.

Note that the "#" must be url escaped for this to work correctly.

It's working with mt-thread as well, now that I upgraded to the current version - the old version threw away the fragment too early in the process, so it didn't find a matching tb url.

I don’t remember much coming from itI remember being called a dead end until I implemented it. And, the very next day after I implemented it, I actually found something useful to do with it....
