> This affects the "Signing API Requests" section in the Developer's Guide. The source file is signing-api-requests.xml.
> The docs define the Base URL as http://hostname:port and then go on to say "Signature: This is the hashed signature of the Base URL". But when describing how to generate the signature, the Base URL isn't used. The Command String is used.
> Need to determine which description is correct. The current info is self-contradictory.
