Ok @mitch, just published a new version 0.1.9 of Threadcap that supports optional http request signing.
So you (or anyone using Threadcap) can fetch comments from Mastodon instances in "secure mode".
The new helper function is called "makeSigningAwareFetcher" - I'll email you the endpoints you need to setup on your side.
@js awesome, thank you!
Github issue created. https://github.com/podverse/podverse-api/issues/592
I'll be mostly away from a computer this week. Hopefully I will be able to get to this soon, but it might not be until next week.
