Hi all,

I'm new to this ML.

I'm writing a ruby webfinger library.
https://rubygems.org/gems/webfinger

After reading usecases in section 3, I have a question.

In the device info discovery example in section 3.4, resource is "device:p1.example.com" but the host of discovery endpoint is "example.com", not "p1.example.com".
Is there any reason why these hosts are different?
How did the client decide the host of the discovery endpoint from resource URI?

Thanks

Nov Matake
