Another curious #ActivityPub / #MastodonAPI issue.
A Mastodon server is sending me a DELETE message.
The delete is because a user has been deleted.
My server tries to validate the HTTP Signature.
My server looks up the deleted user's main-key.
The user has been deleted so the public key 404s.
My server never acknowledges the delete, so the other server keeps sending me the same request.
So… How do I validate the signature of a deleted user?
@SDF hi - I think your instance might be misconfigured.
You keep sending me delete messages for deleted users.
I'm replying with HTTP 200 - but you keep sending the same requests over and over again.
Is this something you're able to fix?
I guess the answer is "I should have saved the user's public key previously"?
But perhaps the problem is *me*?
My script just dies on that error. It never responds.
I'm going to try sending an HTTP 202 status. If that doesn't work, a 200.
Let's see if that helps!
