I had to make some changes to my webmention endpoint as it either wasn't getting the right info under specific conditions or throwing an error. 1
I jumped into Postman to spoof a few mentions and managed to get to the bottom of it (the joys of multi-dimensional arrays.) The sending and receiving of webmentions is the easy bit, making sure you get the right information from the source URL, however, is not so simple – especially when there are so many different implementations.
On a side note, Jan-Lukas posted about a web-based, Postman alternative called Hoppscotch that can be self-hosted. Personally, I'm okay with having an account on Postman to save my workspaces but it's always good to have options.
