Champ de l'étude

L'objet de ce wiki de famille est naturellement de nous entraider et nous faire épauler pour commencer à tester un protocole de communication moderne à tester à partir de n'importe quel site personnel.

exercice proposé pour IndieMark

Découvrir ce premier test fait par Laurent Eschnou en Belgique pour un premier support d'entraînement (Avril 2013).

W3C logo

Webmention is an open web standard (W3C Recommendation) for conversations and interactions across the web, a powerful building block used for a growing distributed network of peer-to-peer comments, likes, reposts, and other responses across the web.

Why

Enables cross-site conversations. When you link to a website, you can send it a Webmention to notify it. If it supports Webmentions, then that website may display your post as a comment, like, or other response, and presto, you’re having a conversation from one site to another!

”… an @ mention that works across websites; so that you don't feel immovable from Twitter or Fb.” — Rony Ngala

How to implement or display

When you publish a post with links to other sites, your site can send a webmention notification to sites that accept them to inform them that they were linked to.

A webmention receiver provides discovery of their webmention endpoint so it can be found by others who link to the page. When a receiver’s endpoint receives a webmention notification, it looks up the sender’s post and may display it as a response.

Mentions mainly require a link to the recipient on the page, but they can be enhanced into more meaningful responses (such as comments, reposts, or likes) by adding microformats to the sender’s post.

    • Endpoint is a modified version of Jeremy Keith's webmention.php.
    • Webmentions sent manully. More to implement. To-do list is long. Site is running Textpattern CMS, so a complete webmentions plugin is both feasible and ideal.

For those with more programming knowledge there is also a method for sending webmentions with cURL.

To manually receive webmentions you can have your web server log HTTP POST requests sent to your webmention endpoint URL to a file. Then you look at the log file with your text editor and respond manually, or script it, or whatever you like. An example of how to do this with nginx is at

"A static, manual system for *receiving* webmentions (and pingback) with nginx" http://superkuh.com/blog/2020-01-10-1.html
