Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file.

gistfile1.txt

[[email protected] www]$ cat .htaccess 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} resource=acct:(.+)
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/webfinger /profile/%1? [L]

[[email protected] www]$ cat profile/[email protected]
{
  "subject": "acct:[email protected]",
  "links": [
    {
      "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/avatar",
      "href": "http://aaronparecki.com/images/aaronpk.png"
    },
    {
      "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
      "href": "http://aaronparecki.com/"
    },
    {
      "rel": "me",
      "href": "http://aaronparecki.com/"
    }
  ]
}

I had to change the rewrite rule to this to make it work:

RewriteRule ^/.well-known/webfinger /profile/%1? [L]

(forward slash instead of backslash)
