Sure - fixed.

One thing it *doesn't* do is use the final URL if it hits redirects
along the way to fetching the page containing the <link rel> element.
So if I enter "www.livejournal.com/~myelin", LJ will come back and
tell me I can't authenticate for ~myelin.  If I can get PHP to tell me
what the *actual* fetched URL was, I can fix this, though.  It looks
like Net::OpenID::Consumer does it properly.

It used to dump out *far* too much info about the ASN parsing
process... but now it's down to a "safe level" I think!

Somebody is going to have to take all this code sometime and make some
sort of validator...:)
