A "pingback" is a system whereby URLs you might reference in a blog post are
|
||||
contacted by the blog publishing software at publishing time (i.e., once) so
|
||||
that they might update a list of "pingbacks" to the URL. The originating
|
||||
URL's blog software might then display a list of pingbacks, or an excerpt of
|
||||
the text from your blog, perhaps interleaved with comments, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
At a technical level, external URLs are extracted from your blog post by the
|
||||
blogging software, fetched, inspected for information to determine whether the
|
||||
remote server is configured to support pingbacks (look for link tags, or HTTP
|
||||
headers) and the relevant pingback URL sent an XML-RPC packet.
|
||||
|
||||
There are other technologies to achieve the same thing: trackbacks predate
|
||||
pingbacks but are more vulnerable to spam due to design problems.
|
||||
|
||||
The spec for pingbacks is at <http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback>.
|
||||
|
||||
I would like to somehow use pingbacks in conjunction with ikiwiki. I suppose
|
||||
this could be achieved using a commit hook and some external software in which
|
||||
case I will consider this done with an entry in [[tips]]; otherwise a
|
||||
[[plugins|plugin]] to implement pingbacks would be great.
