Documentation, more beta invites

I've begun working on the documentation for the Openomy APIs. They're now available at http://documentation.openomy.com. I've only started with the methods so a lot more will be added over the next few days.

Also, I'll obviously be changing the design of that site sometime soon, but most likely not before I get through with beta testing. I'd rather have a working service than pretty documentation.

Lastly, I'll be sending out some more invites today. The first few people found some good bugs, and I expect to find others. But the site is appearing more and more stable.

Your authentication APIs could use a bit of work; they are not nearly secure enough. If you are passing your private keys around via URLs, then they are easily snoopable.

Am I misreading this?

Is it possible to authenticate over SSL?

Yeah, that's a misread (probably combined with poor writing).

Private keys are *not* send via URLs. They are used in the call to make the signature of a call, but are not then passed themselves.

Currently, there is no SSL support, but that should change soon.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email me -- iseff@iseff.com -- just be sure to put the word "openomy" in the subject line so nothing gets marked as spam.
