I thought that was valid with RelMeAuth but not IndieAuth - how can I get that working as an IndieAuth client?

I’ll admit it’s a bit of a “hack”. The trick is “aaron@parecki.com” is a URL because if you assume the http scheme then you get http://aaron@parecki.com which is a username but no password with HTTP basic auth. The server can switch what it returns based on that username.

Have you written a response to this? Let me know the URL:
- Aaron Parecki aaronparecki.com
  
  As a client developer you have to: 1) follow the spec by assuming “http” if no scheme is entered, and 2) allow the user-entered URL to contain a username component.
