Anybody know how to get gmail's OpenID working? All I find is this http://openid-provider.appspot.com/, which gives 302 moved followed by GET not supported on this URL.
I'm assuming this one is broken. Any others?

Google's OAuth 2.0 APIs can be used for both authentication and authorization. This document describes our OAuth 2.0 implementation for authentication, which conforms to the OpenID Connect specification, and is OpenID Certified.
Go to the Identity Providers page in the Google Cloud console. Click Add a Provider, and select OpenID Connect from the list.
OpenID allows you to use an existing account to sign in to multiple websites, without needing to create new passwords. You may choose to associate information with your OpenID that can be shared with the websites you visit, such as a name or email address.
OpenID Connect lets developers authenticate their users across websites and apps without having to own and manage password files. For the app builder, it provides a secure verifiable, answer to the question: “What is the identity of the person currently using the browser or native app that is connected to me?”
Update: this no-longer works.
This works as an OpenID: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id (worked in 2008, 404s in 2016)
It went live on October 30th, 12 days after the question was asked.

Update: Some pages do not support https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id format, if they ask for an url, I found a way to do use your Google Account (gmail) as an OpenID.

I think it's not possible. But the opposite (using a gmail account as a openID) i think it's possible.
