[Owncloud] Extended webfinger app

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Florian,

thanks a lot for your contribution. I´m not super familiar with webfinger but this looks good.

And thanks for calling us a "big" FOSS project  :-)


Cheers
Frank

For instructions on how to use webfinger from your app, see the /apps/user_webfinger/webfinger.php file. I first thought of something like OC_Webfinger::register(), but unfortunately that not possible because the OC_Webfinger class must be in classpath before running all the appinfo/app.php scripts :-/

To make this accessible by pure javascript apps, the install.php also creates a static .htaccess file which sets some additional headers, so to make use of this it's now recommended that you have the apache mod_headers activated.

I'm not sure if this could also be done by a built-in upgrade routine, so I'm telling you :P
