406 “Not Acceptable” error when using JanRain OpenID Library with Google
Question
I am using the latest Janrain openid library example and the discovery process seems to work well with Yahoo, myopenid.com and others...
But I am stuck with Google endpoint (https semicolon //www.google.com/accounts/o8/id). Consumer.php just returns a 406 apache error, before I am redirected to google's page.
All my installation is available here : http://www.coplango.com/vendor/openid/examples/
- Click on consumer to try the consumer example, but discovery.php fails the same way,proving it happens during discovery...
- You can also check detect.php to check my installation - The HTTP fetching test fails with a 503 because it tries to reach an address which returns a 503. Rest is fine.
I supposed it was down to php-yadis specifying Accept: application/xrds+xml
header but I checked the code and other types are also accepted such text/html
and application/xhtml+xml
.
Anyone came accross this?
Any clue?
Thank you very much!
Solution
Ok,
I have investigated further and it seems to be down to my provider, who returns a 406 error if any string containing the death word "/id" is passed as GET parameter. Took me days to figure out it was not down to openid !!
For info I am using PlanetHoster, if anyone else ever comes accross this. I have sent them a ticket request and waiting for their answer.
OTHER TIPS
running the consumer example at my machine, i get the following error:
Got no response code when fetching https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
CURL error (60): SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
this means curl fails verifying google's https server certificate. you can workaround this by either providing curl with CA certificates to verify google's certificate via CURLOPT_CAINFO
/CURLOPT_CAPATH
, or - easier - stop validating the cert via CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER
. the following change in Auth/Yadis/ParanoidHTTPFetcher.php
accomplishes latter for me:

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

+ curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_exec($c);
of course, your curl installation must also support ssl - check your phpinfo()
. also, if CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER
is disabled, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
may also need to be TRUE
or FALSE
.

SOLUTION:
In the .htaccess file put
