+The Perl module manual says:

+Yet on the server side, I see no request coming in on the OpenID provider...

+Adding debugging helps in figuring out wtf is going on:

+There are three places in the code the original error message happens:
+
+* Net::OpenID::claimed_identity
+* Net::OpenID::verified_identity
+* Net::OpenID::_find_openid_server
+
+We'll look at the last one because it's where the URL data is actually fetched.
+
+[[!format perl """
+sub _find_openid_server {
+ my Net::OpenID::Consumer $self = shift;
+ my $url = shift;
+ my $final_url_ref = shift;
+
+ my $sem_info = $self->_find_semantic_info($url, $final_url_ref) or
+ return;
+
+ return $self->_fail("no_identity_server") unless $sem_info->{"openid.server"};
+ $sem_info->{"openid.server"};
+}
+"""]]
+
+From there we look at `_find_semantic_info()`, which is supposed to hit the OpenID server, but doesn't somehow.... By cranking up debugging, we can see that the consumer fails to verify the HTTPS signature on the host:

+To get this little wonder, I had to change the `_find_semantic_info()` as followed:
+
+~~~~
+sub _find_semantic_info {
+ my Net::OpenID::Consumer $self = shift;
+ my $url = shift;
+ my $final_url_ref = shift;
+
+ my $doc = $self->_get_url_contents($url, $final_url_ref);
+ $self->_debug("url dump ($url, $final_url_ref) = " . $doc) if $self->{debug};
+ my $info = _document_to_semantic_info($doc);
+ $self->_debug("semantic info ($url) = " . join(", ", map { $_.' => '.$info->{$_} } keys %$info)) if $self->{debug};
+
+ return $info;
+}
+~~~~
+
+A minimal test case would be:
+
+~~~~
+perl -e 'use LWPx::ParanoidAgent;
+ print $LWPx::ParanoidAgent::VERSION, " $]: ";
+ print length(LWPx::ParanoidAgent->new->get
+ ("https://id.koumbit.net/anarcat")
+ ->decoded_content), "\n";'
+~~~~
+
+And the results vary according to the version of perl:
+
+* wheezy: 1.07 5.014002: 5720
+* jessie: 1.10 5.018002: 398
+
+Thanks [jwz](http://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/03/apple-broke-lwp-in-a-new-and-exciting-way-on-10-9-2/) for that.. And this *could* have been packaged in Debian, except it overlaps with the `ca-certificates` package, so it was [basically barred entry](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702124).
+
+I tried the workaround of hardcoding the path to the CA root, using `PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_PATH=/etc/ssl/certs`, but then I hit *another* bug in LWP: [#738493](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738493).
+
+Note that this bug is similar to [[bugs/ssl_certificates_not_checked_with_openid/]], but backwards: it checks the SSL certs but then fails to verify.
