Hello,
I'm testing out a little OpenID login widget I'm making for my websites. On my development environment, using my MySpace URL as an OpenID (http://www.myspace.com/daniel_1515) works perfectly. However, on the staging/live environment, it is not working. I implemented some debugging code, and it appears that when my server requests the profile URL, it gets redirected to Google! I've confirmed this odd behaviour using a web browser via SSH.

Any idea what could be causing this?! I'll be removing MySpace OpenID logins from my login widget in the meantime. I don't want to use any custom MySpace library as I'd like to keep my code generic and reusable.

My live server IP is 66.232.109.157, if this is relevant.

 What is your six-digit app id? Can you put in FQDN's not IP's in your app configuration fields?

 If this doesn't help is there a way you can provide steps for me to log in and see the issue(s) directly? You can email confidential info to developerrelations@myspace-inc.com.

thanks,

Joel

I'm not using an app or anything, I'm just using my MySpace URL as an OpenID. I could not figure out how to actually use OpenID with an app ID. Most OpenID implementation don't require the consuming website to register.

If you go to an OpenID test page (like http://www.openid-ldap.org/test.php) and put your MySpace URL into the box (or even just "myspace.com"), it works. If I try the same thing from a web site running on my server, it doesn't work. Trying to access http://www.myspace.com/ from my server results in it redirecting to Google, which is why it's not working for me.

 Is there a way I can test this here? Please send login/user/uri info to developerrelations@myspace-inc.com so we can test it out.

thanks,

Joel
