Hey everyone,
While implementing PubSubHubbub and using it in production, I realized
that there are several situations in which I need to un-subscribe from a
feed. Per the specs, the right approach, is to send an unsubscribe request.
While this works, there could be an easier way: What if, as a subscriber,
when I receive a ping for a feed that I don't care about anymore, I simply
reply with the word "unsubscribe" in the body to tell the hub to get me off
the list?
When I receive a ping, I have to check it out and decide what to do with
it, and that's the perfect time to decide if I want to unsubscribe. By
making it super easy to unsubscribe, I believe we'll have less pings that
get ignored because the subscriber can't be bothered to send a proper
unsubscribe request. Thoughts?
Regards,
Waleed
