Cannot log in with WebID

[edmondchuc]

Hi, love your work!

There's been a couple of Solid apps I've tested which I cannot log in with my WebID. I am not sure if this is because the Inrupt Pod Spaces work a bit differently in terms of how it authenticates users.

The URL it is trying to make a request from is https://pod.inrupt.com/.well-known/openid-configuration and the response is a 401 with a body.

{
    "error": {
        
        "code": "401",
        "message": "Unauthorized"
    }
}

Media Kraken works fine though.

Hey, thanks for opening an issue!

Yes, I'm aware that the app doesn't work with Inrupt and other of the more modern PODs (like the community server). The reason is that the previous library — solid-auth-client — has been deprecated and no longer works with new PODs. You can look at how this issue was solved in Media Kraken here: NoelDeMartin/media-kraken#9

Now, as to when this will be fixed here, to be honest it may take a while. This was my first Solid App and since I made this I learned a lot, so there are many things I have to improve. You can read an announcement I posted recently about my plans for that: #10
