Thanks for writing this up :) I copied your approach, but made a change to retrieve the /.well-known/webfinger data from my Mastodon instance directly. Inside the Edge Function I fetch it, then return a modified version of that response. That way, any changes that Hachyderm makes will be reflected in my endpoint, and the headers like content-type: application/jrd+json; charset=utf-8 are retained:

import { Status } from 'https://deno.land/[email protected]/http/http_status.ts';

export default async (request, context) => {
  const url = new URL(request.url);
  const resourceParam = url.searchParams.get('resource');

  if (resourceParam === null) {
    return context.json(
      {
        error: "No 'resource' query parameter was provided",
      },
      {
        status: Status.BadRequest,
      }
    );
  }

  if (resourceParam !== 'acct:[email protected]') {
    return context.json(
      {
        error: 'An invalid identity was requested',
      },
      {
        status: Status.BadRequest,
      }
    );
  }

  const webfingerResponse = await fetch('https://hachyderm.io/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]');
  const json = await webfingerResponse.json();

  json.links.push({
    rel: 'http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page',
    type: 'text/html',
    href: 'https://wolstenhol.me',
  });

  return new Response(JSON.stringify(json), webfingerResponse);
};
