1)Apache mod_rewrite problem

When we receive a Salmon message with a verb "FOLLOW", it means that someone
starts following us.
Therefore, we must obtain the follower's public-key with the aim of
authenticate the received message, so we should start a discovery process
using the author-uri element inside the Salmon entry.
Usually, the uri is in the form of an http profile ID(e.g Status.net--->
http://NICK.status.net/user/1).

Besides this kind of URI (
http://ielts.status.net/main/xrd?uri=acct:n...@status.net), we should also
accept (http://ielts.status.net/main/xrd?uri=http://NICK.status.net/user/1).

I have some problems dealing with the handling of the latter URI.
I use mod_rewrite and i set the following rule, on my personal SN:

RewriteRule ^webfinger/uri=(.*)$ webfinger/xrd.php?uri=$1 [L,QSA]

I notice that acct:.... uri type works well, whilst the other type doesn't;
The browser cuts off a slash("/") in the final uri.

2)Regarding Salmon:

  In general we should ONLY accept Salmon(verb = POST) from our FOLLOWERS.
Is it right??

Thanks a lot.
WHISHES.
