Answers are:

• Confirmed via micropub.rocks
• Self-reported

Discovery

• The client discovers the Micropub endpoint given the profile URL of a user (e.g. the sign-in form asks the user to enter their URL, which is used to find the Micropub endpoint)

Authentication

• The client sends the access token in the HTTP Authorization header.
• The client sends the access token in the post body for x-www-form-urlencoded requests.
• The client requests one or more scope values when obtaining user authorization.
• post, edit, delete

Syntax

• Creates posts using x-www-form-urlencoded syntax.
• Creates posts using JSON syntax.
• Creates posts using x-www-form-urlencoded syntax with multiple values of the same property name (e.g. tags).
• Creates posts using JSON syntax with multiple values of the same property name (e.g. tags).
• Creates posts using JSON syntax including a nested Microformats2 object.
• Creates posts including a file by sending the request as multipart/form-data to the Micropub endpoint.

Creating Posts

• Allows creating posts with a photo referenced by URL rather than uploading the photo as a Multipart request.
• Allows creating posts with a photo including image alt text.
• Recognizes HTTP 201 and 202 with a Location header as a successful response from the Micropub endpoint.
• Allows the user to specify one or more syndication endpoints from their list of endpoints discovered in the q=config or q=syndicate-to query.

Media Endpoint

• Checks to see if the Micropub endpoint specifies a Media Endpoint, and uploads photos there instead.
• Uses multipart requests only as a fallback when there is no Media Endpoint specified.

Updates

• Supports replacing all values of a property (e.g. replacing the post content).
• Supports adding a value to a property (e.g. adding a tag).
• Supports removing a value from a property (e.g. removing a specific tag).
• Supports removing a property.
• Recognizes HTTP 200, 201 and 204 as a successful response from the Micropub endpoint.

Deletes

• Sends deletion requests using x-www-form-urlencoded syntax.
• Sends deletion requests using JSON syntax.
• Sends undeletion requests using x-www-form-urlencoded syntax.
• Sends undeletion requests using JSON syntax.

Querying

• Queries the Micropub endpoint with q=config
• Looks in the response for the Media Endpoint
• Looks in the response for syndication targets
• Queries the Micropub endpoint with q=syndicate-to
• Queries the Micropub endpoint for a post's source content without specifying a list of properties
• Queries the Micropub endpoint for a post's source content looking only for specific properties
