Webmention for private content #12

Open sandeepshetty opened 11 years ago

The ability to notify someone of being mentioned in content that is private.

One way to do this: Sender sends a secret key along with source and target in the webmention that the receiver can use in the header to access source content.

This mixes auth with notification and doesn't feel right.

See also https://github.com/otxt/otxt-s2s-protocol for something that requires "pairing" beforehand.

See http://indiewebcamp.com/indieweb-messaging for an example of using webmention as-is along with IndieAuth for private content
