Openinfocard openid login @ plaxo

When I referred to Mike's post about the Microsoft OpenID selector I was reminded to try this at the same site (Plaxo) as Mike. Here we go...

First I identified a small issue with openinfocard: The code matches the issuers now case-insensitive. Plaxo asks for "Yahoo.com" while my card says "me.yahoo.com".
So you need the latest version of openinfocard to try this "at home".

Please install this into Firefox3 and browse to https://www.plaxo.com/signin?test.selector=1

Now click the "Sign in with OpenID" link to start the selector.

After selecting a card click "Send" to start openid discovery.

Yahoo! login and confirmation

Now I am logged in at Plaxo!

Nice!
