Problems with Moodle-created Badges

I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on this problem with my Mahoodle (config details below)....I'm worried that the Badges created in my Moodle are technically flawed, but I don't know how.

  • Badges created in Moodle can be displayed inside Moodle, but can't be pushed to Mozilla Backpack
  • Nor can I successfully upload these Moodle-created badges manually to the Moodle Backpack
    (result is empty window with this seemingly broken URL: http://backpack.openbadges.org/backpack/badge (no "s" on the end)

Meanwhile:

  • I can import badges from Mozilla BP to the Moodle just fine
  • Badges display just fine in Mahara, located behind the same firewall

My webmaster has a LAMP-based Moodle 2.6 / Mahara 1.8.1 set up with XML-RPC SSO from Moodle to Mahara. It's behind a secure firewall, but I don't know the details.

Any thoughts? My webmaster is wondering whether the Mahara displayer is fighting the Moodle connection, but I don't think so.

Just to say that I worked out the problem: Moodle was behind a firewall and blocking the validation request from Mozilla Backpack.
