Issuer.discover() vs Issuer.webfinger(), naming, & "OpenID Provider Issuer Discovery"

[alxndrsn]

Thanks for a great library.

The docs for Issuer.webfinger() seem very clear:

Performs OpenID Provider Issuer Discovery based on End-User input.

And Issuer.discover():

Loads OpenID Connect 1.0 and/or OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata documents.

So webfinger() discovers, and discover() fetches metadata. Have I understood correctly? Is there any appetite for renaming the discover() function? I'm not sure what might be more accurate, maybe Issuer.fromUrl()?

Hi @alxndrsn

Is there any appetite for renaming the discover() function?

There isn't. If anything the webfinger method is going to be removed in the next major on the account of trimming the API surface of things that are barely ever used.

Thanks @panva 👍
