WebFist is a sort of community fallback service for WebFinger requests -- if your email provider doesn't support WebFinger (e.g. gmail.com or yahoo.com email addresses), you can just email fist@webfist.org with a link to your JRD and WebFist will give the client a delegated link to the person's JRD. They prove the person's intent using email DKIM signatures.

Oddly enough though, WebFist itself doesn't support HTTPS. This is why
