OpenID and Redirects

When I moved to this wiki, I had the problem to keep the old links from being broken. I learnt that lesson, and me being a innovative guy (which means I keep doing and changing stuff over here), I now moved the wiki to this subdomain and alcidesfonseca.com redirects here now.

This simple change broke all my authentication through OpenID. The authentication works, but the url verified is now wiki.alcidesfonseca.com, that is not the one associated with my account. This thing really worries me. So, heres the workflow:

Consumer -> http://alcidesfonseca.com -> http://wiki.alcidesfonseca.com -> http://alcides.myopenid.com

And if I can authenticate against my provider (MyOpenID), I prove that I am wiki.alcidesfonseca.com, but not alcidesfonseca.com. Wouldn’t it make sense to prove that I am also alcidesfonseca.com since I am the url that is redirected to?

As for now, I guess I’ll have to make some simple placeholder with HTML headers. BTW, have you checked http://stream.alcidesfonseca.com?
