Today i made the first succesful pingback from my b2 blog to
kryogenix.org. I'll post the hack tomorrow after cleaning it a bit.
I hope you'll have some spare time to suggest improvements :-)
(by the way,I'll also post a spanish translation of the pingback spec)
A couple of things,
a) i'm using the Snoopy class (snoopy.sourceforge.net) for remote pages
retrieval. Is it a sound approach or maybe a bit overkill?
b) i'm also logging the "transactions" for each post (explored links,
pingback server found / not found, server host and path if found,etc..)
Consider this scenario
Given that a central repository of pingback servers exists as proposed
by Simon, once in a while, my blog tool uploads its logs to this central
repository, so they can be parsed.
Possible uses:
- Servers that exists in the logs but not in the repository can be
double-checked and added
- Warnings about unreachable servers.
- Statistics of most pingedpack stories, etc...
This way information flows both from repository to blogware *and* from
blogware to repository.
A XML syntax for the logs could go
<post permalink="">
<timestamp> </timestamp>
<links>
<link url="">
<PingbackServer>
<status>200 OK</status>
<host></host>
<path></path>
<response>Thanks for pingingback!</response>
</PingbackServer>
</link>
</links>
</post>
Comments?
Regards,
Manuel
