RFC 9421 Testing endpoints?

Is there a service or implementation that can test RFC 9421 implementations? I'm running a branch of NodeBB here on activitypub.space that sends and receives RFC 9421 HTTP Signatures and I'd like to test against someone

@silverpill@mitra.social perhaps?

Streams and Forte support RFC 9421, with fallback to an older signature method if it fails. (I'm commenting from a streams instance.)

I apologize that my technical understanding is very limited, but I'm happy to try some experiments if you want.

My instance has rfc9421 turned on for everything by default - and I'd be happy to send some test packets and report back. However from memory nodebb isn't able to parse activities - and I don't have any way to send "posts"; so it might be a bit challenging to figure out which condition caused any failures.

We do support activities, we just don't persist them. You can send Create(Note) just like everybody else, etc.
