[annotator-dev] x-annotator-auth-token

Tue Mar 25 21:01:57 UTC 2014

I still can't see anything wrong with this.

Maybe you could create a token with a throwaway secret and send it to me,
along with the secret.
I'll try to decode and validate it using the python code
annotateit.orguses and see if anything pops out.

Or, if you're comfortable with python, you can check it out yourself:
https://github.com/okfn/annotator-store
The token verification looks like:

```python

from annotator.auth import decode_token

decode_token(token, secret, ttl=86400, verify=True)
```

You can also pass verify=False to be sure it parses, even if the signature
and expiry are wrong. Or pass a different TTL value to ensure a particular
TTL is enforced.

That should give you a message about why the token might be wrong, if it is.
