Hi,

If you are on mastodon you can paste this and see a thread.

Basically the server to server communication is providing a HTTP Signature with a keyed of 

"https://fediversity.site/?operation=rsakey”

My server hosted on amazon is unable to fetch this url.
In fact, a server not on amazon is not able to fetch this url.

$ curl "https://fediversity.site/?operation=rsakey"
curl: (56) Recv failure: Operation timed out

So my question is what is the correct response code?

I am returning a 5XX but is a key that can not be resolved and client error i.e. 4XX here?

Jason
