Homepage verification inconsistent?

[SpcCw]

Some links don't seem to pass verification procedure and checkmark doesn't appear.

Test profile:
https://friends.deko.cloud/profile/bot

Link examples:
https://social.deko.cloud/test.html - passes verification
https://lor.sh/@shuro - doesn't pass verification

When the second link is set in the profile the following is registered in the log:

2022-12-22T16:42:31Z worker [INFO]: Process start. {"priority":30,"id":61906637,"worker_id":"0677fea","worker_cmd":"CheckRelMeProfileLink"} - {"file":"Worker.php","line":554,"function":"execFunction","uid":"cf1176","process_id":1321120}

However if I curl links they seem to be okay except minor syntax differences:

curl https://social.deko.cloud/test.html | grep bot

<a href="https://friends.deko.cloud/profile/bot" rel="me">test</a>

100<link href='https://friends.deko.cloud/profile/bot' rel='me' type='text/html'>

Another example with another profile and link:

curl  https://ro.gravatar.com/cata195  | grep libra

<a class="profile-link" href="https://libranet.de/profile/petrescatraian" target="_blank" rel="me nofollow noopener">libranet.de/profile/petrescatraian</a>

I just checked and we don't expect any other terms in the rel attribute, which explains the failed verification.

This check needs to first split the $rel value on spaces, and then check that the me value is present in the resulting list:

friendica/src/Worker/CheckRelMeProfileLink.php

Lines 75 to 76 in 02bca72

	$rel = $link->getAttribute('rel');
	if ($rel == 'me') {

Also additionally to the <a> tags, apparently some people like to use a <link> tag, so to process should be done for both possible tags.

[MrPetovan]

Indeed, and this is the XPath query needed for this: //*[contains(concat(' ',normalize-space(@rel),' '),' me ')][contains(@href, 'https://example.com')]

@SpcCw Please try again at your earliest convenience!

@MrPetovan - seems to work! Both link attribute and rel with multiple values pass the check. Big thanks!
