The Net::OpenID::Server perl module that LJ uses appears to be very picky about input, and rejects most request types unless the data comes in as GET parameters (apparently following OpenID 1.1 rules, rather than OpenID 2.0 rules which permit any request to be POSTed but requires that if so, the data must all be in the POST body).
Apparently something got updated on LJ at some point that's either added that behavior or (more likely) added the OpenID 2.0 namespace info to discovery, which tells the Janrain-based OpenID libraries that they should go ahead and do POST requests instead of redirects to GET requests... thus breaking everything. ;)
GET should be just fine for both 1.1 and 2.0 though, and also saves having to sit through that lame autosubmit page.
Switched the authentication submission from checking whether it should redirect to GET or do a form POST, to simply always doing the redirect to GET.
Tested against providers:
* LiveJournal
* Google
* LaunchPad
* identi.ca
If set up, this hub will be used to subscribe to feeds that don't specify a hub of their own.
Assumes that the fallback hub will, in fact, handle polling and updates for any feed we throw at it!
Authentication may be specified for the fallback hub.
Example:
$config['feedsub']['fallback_hub'] = 'https://superfeedr.com/hubbub';
$config['feedsub']['hub_user'] = 'abcd';
$config['feedsub']['hub_pass'] = 'ckcmdkmckdmkcdk';
Also:
* Fix for WordPress-RSS-via-Superfeedr-Atom; if we have <author> info but no ID from a native ActivityStreams actor, don't freak out in the low-level processing code that checks for identity matches.
* enhanced messages for low-level FeedSub exceptions if they make it to outside display
SubMirror: redid add-mirror frontend to accept a feed URL, then pass that on to OStatus, instead of pulling from your subscriptions.
Profile: tweaked subscriberCount() so it doesn't subtract 1 for foreign profiles who aren't subscribed to themselves; instead excludes the self-subscription in the count query.
Memcached_DataObject: tweak to avoid extra error spew in the DB error raising
Work in progress: tweaking feedsub garbage collection so we can count other uses
The UI for setup and editing is a bit nasty for now. Can be reached via 'Mirroring' tab in account settings, or from a link at top of subscriptions list.
Currently relies on the OStatus plugin to handle actual setup, parsing, and importing of feeds; to support more general feed formatting we may need some further work there to accept weird feeds.
Also requires an actual live subscription, but this could be changed in future. (Ensuring that PSHB feed subscriptions remain live even if nobody's directly subscribed might be tricky.)
The repeat style is our preferred method since it retains full attribution, but right now we don't handle repeats very well across site boundaries; when pushed out to Twitter or to other StatusNet instances via OStatus, currently we end up losing some of the data and can end up with the 'RT @blah' version.
WARNING: There's no loop detection yet; it's most likely possible to set up a fun loop of profiles repeating each others' stuff forever and ever and ever and ever...
addPlugin('TwitterBridge', array('adminImportControl' => true, ....));
Added a note on the label that it requires manual daemon setup. (Note that by default the admin panel won't be shown, so it's no biggie to be hiding this for now.)

This bit of CSS was constricting the vertical size of the popup form for repeats:
.notice-options form {
width:16px;
height:16px;
}
I can only assume this was originally meant to constrain the mini inline AJAX forms to the size of the clickable buttons, but it doesn't make a difference to how those are displayed on iPhone, Android, or Opera Mini.
Removing the statement lets the popup form go to its natural size, covering the button.
