Reduce precision of signature date field #18

Closed waldoj closed 9 years ago

It's providing precision down to the microsecond, e.g. 2015-06-20T13:15:47.42Z, but the spec only support seconds, e.g. 2015-06-20T13:15:47Z, causing the JSON to fail the validation check.

The problem appears to be that toISOString() produces greater precision than JSON's date datatype supports. The solution is probably to manually format the date-time.

Notably, and appropriately, both use ISO 8601. In theory, microseconds are supported. In practice—in the case of our JSON schema library—it is not.

Well, that was a horrible solution. Now the date-time string is being assembled manually, because that proved the simplest way to eliminate microseconds. (Other possibilities: a third-party library like Moment.js, or a regex.) But that fixes the problem. :-/
