Houston, we have a problem…
There seem to be some more severe change in encrypt_and_sign…
Moving from 7.0.4 to 8.0.1, and I’m using this suggestion:
laugh I am not supposed to know what encoding it is!
It is cipher material, and it should not be possible to figure out the language oder the encoding or any structural attribute of cipher material - ideally it appears as “white noise”, a random sequence of bits.
The most correct designation for the encoding would probably be ASCII-8BIT. But this fails - JSON apparently cannot do such, it is a genuine JSON limitation; it cannot handle raw ciphertext.
So after reading through the inline docs, I switched it to serializer: :message_pack - and that seems now to work again.
