Object IDs should really be retrievable by http GET. See section 3.2 of https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub

@rimu@piefed.social yes, that's right. I'm specifically referring to object urls though, which tend to be more user facing.

Why 301 and not 302?
I am using 302. Probably chose it because everyone else was using it.

@silverpill@mitra.social 302/307 is also fine by me. Probably safer from being accidentally cached and may be more appropriate in this situation.

You could save yourself some hassle and make urls and IDs the same value. But you do you

@julian @angus @evan interesting problem! Redirect feels like a slightly weird pattern to me, intuitively, but open to implementing any preferred approach

@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz A solution is only needed if the resource id is different from the URL (which in Ghost's case, is true).

You don't have to use a redirect. If your software is capable of doing it, you can serve the ActivityPub object directly from that route's controller; that's what NodeBB does.

@julian If you want to make an issue here about what you'd like to see I'll make sure the team sees it

@julian (Thank you for the ping btw, I appreciate the note - this wasn't on my radar)

@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz no worries, and thanks! Will do.
