https github links not supported

[cweiske]

Links to https://github.com/username are not supported:

None of your providers are supported. Tried https://github.com/cweiske.

When changing the link to http://, I get further (see next issue).

When I use my github profile it seems to check everything else BUT the github identity provider. So it seems to special case the starting node which leads it astray

Sorry my report is not the same issue. If try from my homepage I see

So Github is not supported (thats ok) but in the first case when I sue my github profile it does not consider it a candidate provider at all.

FROM http://microformats.org/wiki/RelMeAuth#detailed_algorithm

start with a user identity URL (e.g from the UI, or from a cookie from previous login etc.)
if the URL is an OAuth provider
then try authenticating with it (we prefer the user's own site for auth)
if it succeeds, exit
if canceled, exit
otherwise continue

So it seems it shoudl have tried to authenticate with the github profile ID right off the bat in step 2.

Closer inspection of the source reveals it did try it, but for a less serious bug, it does not print out in the error message that it tried

RelMeAuth/lib/relmeauth.php

Line 50 in ae930f0

// first try to authenticate directly with the URL given
