-# Validation Agent Protocol #
-
-In its current form, the
-[Monkeysphere Validation Agent](/validation-agent) is conceived of as
-a minimalistic HTTP server that accepts two different requests:
-
- GET /  -- initial contact query, protocol version compatibility.
-  (no query parameters)
-  (returns: protoversion, server, available)
-
- POST /reviewcert  -- request validation of a certificate
-  (query parameters: uid, context, pkc)
-  (returns: valid, message)
-
-Query parameters are posted as a JSON blob (*not* as
-www-form-encoded).
-
-The variables that are returned are application/json as well.
-
-* PKC means: public key carrier: raw key, OpenPGP cert, or X.509 cert
-* UID means: User ID (like in OpenPGP)
-* context refers to the setting in which the certificate is offered.  For example, "https" means: "this certificate was offered by an HTTPS server"
