Actually this topic is very old and the openid plugin has been out for some time now.

In most of my plugins I use curl with a fallback to a solid fsockopen routine I wrote awhile back that works well. I can’t remember if I have it in openid.

I avoid api as much as possible because of how they tend to change and break my plugins

Plus you learn nothing when you just use someone else’s black box…
