Glen Mazza commented on ROL-1275:
---------------------------------
Dave, OK if we close this 2006 issue as a not-a-problem? While it's important
we support trackbacks correctly, pingbacks in particular are pretty inefficient
and sloppy: hitting every single link in the blog entry and sending an HTTP
request to each of them, when probably only 1 in 500 URLs would be supporting
autodiscovery. The reduced usage of blogs (i.e., sites that have at least the
potential to support autodiscovery) in favor of microblogging, combined with
the increased usage of hyperlinks within blog entries, drops the S-to-N ratio
to a point that this is no longer worth implementing.

> Key: ROL-1275
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1275
> Project: Apache Roller
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Pings and Trackbacks
> Reporter: David Johnson
> Assignee: Roller Unassigned
> Priority: Minor
>
> Sending trackbacks is a very good way to join a cross-blog conversation and
> get links back to your blog, but it's difficult to figure out how to send a
> trackback. We can make it easier. Some blog servers send trackbacks
> automatically and Roller should be able to do the same. Here's how it could
> work:
> - Blogger creates a blog entry
> - Blogger hits publish button to publish blog entry
> - Roller parses the blog entry looking for links
> - For each link found:
> - Roller parses page that is linked to
> - If page has trackback autodiscovery, then Roller sends trackback to the
> page's trackback URL
> Isses:
> - What about entries that are posted to the future?
> - Do we need a trackbackout table to keep track of sent and pending
> trackbacks?
