Hi, >I found it hard to wrap my head around that there is a difference >between "validation" and "verification of intent", since I thought that >verifying the intent by calling the callback is a kind of validation >already. > >Maybe it would help if an example for a validation rule/process would >be added to the spec. Reported as https://github.com/pubsubhubbub/PubSubHubbub/issues/25 Answer from julien51: Validation and verification of intent have different purposes and are intended to different entities. - Validation is to make sure that the publishers allows for a given subscription. - Verification of intent is a dial-back mechanism to ensure that the origin of the subscription request is indeed the same entity which will get the notifications. An example could help indeed, but I'm not sure the spec is the best place for it since validation is optional. (I want to make sure that examples are not interpreted as reference implementations). -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -= Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 =-
