Tried this using my old code (which used 0.4.2) and then upgraded to git head with same result. Then tried the example from the django-social-auth source and that too returned the same error. It all started sometime in the last week; before that I was able to log in successfully using Yahoo. Now Yahoo fails but other openid backends seem to work. Currently returns:

> OpenID discovery error: HTTP Response status from identity URL host is not 200. Got status 404

404 = not found, but I can't tell what's not being found. Maybe the yahoo openid URL changed, but I was able to log in to other sites (e.g. StackExchange, etc.) using yahoo so somehow their openid service is still working.
