pub async fn resolve_with<F, Fut>(
address: &Address,
lookup: F,
) -> Result<Resolved, ResolveError>Expand description
Resolve address through WebFinger as Mastodon’s ResolveAccountService
does, asking each host with lookup: an answer has to have a subject
and an ActivityPub self link. When the subject is the handle asked
about, compared without regard to case, that is the answer; when it is
another, that handle is asked about in turn, once, and its answer has to
name itself. An application that builds the query URL itself — over
plain http for an onion service, say — passes a lookup that calls
Fetcher::webfinger_at; Fetcher::resolve asks with
Fetcher::webfinger.
The actor is only what the host claims: look it up afterwards to establish it like any other.
§Errors
When a host cannot be asked or its answer is missing either part, the
subject is not a handle, or a redirect leads to yet another handle.
