Timestamp format of Auth_Expires #91

Open drew-wei opened 7 years ago

Hi,

We are hoping that the token expiry (from connection key Auth_Expires) can be represented as a Unix timestamp in seconds as opposed to "ISO 8601 datetime with timezone".

The reason being that it may be easier to handle Unix time as an absolute point in time rather than to use actual timestamps according to ISO 8601. It would also be clearer, and be less prone to error for users of the ODBC spec. Also in regards to OAuth, it will be easier to translate the token expiry (in seconds) into unix timestamp format (in seconds).

Thanks, Drew
