Test Cases for Discovery of ActivityPub over HTTP

By entering the following URLs into a lookup (discovery) search box in your Fediverse software, the desired object should be shown. Currently it is known that Mastodon works for cases 1 to 3.

Retrieving the ActivityPub objects requires one to perform signed GET requests.

Source code is available at codeberg.org and issues can be filed there. It might be helpful to document this mechanism in a FEP. I have written up some details on the first method here. A Gherkin feature is available here.
