Finalising the E-Mango/OF handshake

It seems that the E-Mango/openFabric handshake is now on the final stretch. Kjetil seems to have nailed down the last little issues, and apart from me deciding that 30 milliseconds was more than enough time for a token before it expired, most other issues seem to be falling into place.

There was discussion about whether to use an SSL connection to do the handshake, which would have to be over a tunnel, because ColdFusion's java keystore will not accept X509 certificates with non-standard extensions, so the CF server will not talk to openFabric over SSL. The other, simpler option is to use a standard HTTP connection for the handshake.

I've also spent some time coding the basis for the Guide To The Zodiac tables, required because the originals only go as far as 2006. These new ones will go up to 2020, and list the date and time that the Sun and Moon enter each sign.
