Changes to SLIde


spacer Implemented four of the suggestions from reviewers.

spacer 1. Unix timestamp. Used to be RFC822 formatted. A lot of reviewers asked for this, independently. Let the majority rule. :-)

spacer 2. Version parameter. Starts off at 0. Might possibly change it to 1 when it's announced on scripting.com. On the other hand a 0-based protocol version is kind of neat (never heard of one before). Current implementation just checks for its presence and that it's a valid integer. Otherwise all versions are (currently) assumed to be compatible with all others. If that should change, it will be noted in the spec.

spacer 3. Timestamps can only be used once. Since we only allow timestamps to be used for five minutes, this is quite implementable.

spacer 4. No longer base64-ing the signature. No need to since it is URL-encoded.

spacer Still have to update the spec, but the code is implemented and changes released.
