But that does not seem to be planned at all, right? Reported as https://github.com/pubsubhubbub/PubSubHubbub/issues/28 Answer by julien51: No. We decided to remove the complexity of having 2 modes (async or sync -which you're describing). Sync was also creating issues in the context of application unable to handle more than one concurrent requests (GAE, Rails dev, Heroku applications... etc). Also, the validation is inherently async because the publisher can take days before confirming that subscription is allowed... -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -= Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 =-
