@grishka Please have a look at the user agent string. This should reveal where the requests come from. Most likely this is an older Friendica version, then the user-agent string tells you not only the version of the system but also the exact site name.

In newer versions we now use a different order of requests to reduce the amount of needed queries per server. BTW: All the queried endpoints are valid in some versions of Friendica (which at one point hat the name Friendika) and GNU Social (which had the name Statusnet before).

The current server detection looks like this: github.com/friendica/friendica…

In current versions we search for "/.well-known/nodeinfo" first. And we only query those endpoints above only when this query hadn't been successful (and also when the "host-meta" path is present). This seems to work fine with Smithereen (I just did a quick test against a known server).

@heluecht added logging, now gotta wait for these requests to have my curiosity satisfied :D

@heluecht you're right, these are coming from Friendica, and apparently two instances running some really old version

@grishka Oh yeah ... 3.6. is really old. These versions don't even speak AP at all. I guess we introduced AP in 2019 or late 2018.

@heluecht and by the way while we're at it — am I right that many of additional profile fields, as well as things like photos, aren't exposed in AP yet? Are there any plans about this? It'd be great if we could make something compatible where our features intersect.

@heluecht btw I'm getting this when trying to fetch your profile, but it does somehow work fine from my server

@grishka What is "Paw"? I'm using a bot detection on that server.

@heluecht it's a native REST client for macOS, a very nice one. They were giving away licenses for retweets a while ago.

@grishka We should have published everything. If something isn't working, please tell.

@heluecht everything that's in this tab pirati.ca/profile/heluecht/pro in your profile isn't returned anywhere in the AP actor.

The name, the avatar, the description and the location is exported. The homepage, the XMPP address and the variable profile fields aren't. Mainly because I haven't found corresponding AP fields.

@heluecht yeah that corresponds with that I receive.

You could use schema.org for those fields, it has schemas to cover everything under the sun. Like I did for first/last/middle names for example, because AP specifies just "name" as a single entity.

@grishka You wrote "everything" - which confused me. The variable profile texts can't be exported though, since they are freeformat.

Gregory replied to Michael

@heluecht Mastodon does a thing where it returns an array of PropertyValue's in attachment field, like this. If I understood correctly what you meant by variable profile texts.

@grishka Or do you mean that it isn't included in the activities? We only provide the URL there, since this is just a waste of space to provide this info with each and every activity.
