/*
 * HAWK is an HTTP authentication scheme using a message authentication code
 * (MAC) algorithm to provide partial HTTP request cryptographic verification.
 *
 * For details, see: https://github.com/hueniverse/hawk
 *
 * With HAWK, it is essential that the clocks on clients and server not have an
 * absolute delta of greater than one minute, as the HAWK protocol uses
 * timestamps to reduce the possibility of replay attacks.  However, it is
 * likely that some clients' clocks will be more than a little off, especially
 * in mobile devices, which would break HAWK-based services (like sync and
 * firefox accounts) for those clients.
 *
 * This library provides a stateful HAWK client that calculates (roughly) the
 * clock delta on the client vs the server.  The library provides an interface
 * for deriving HAWK credentials and making HAWK-authenticated REST requests to
 * a single remote server.  Therefore, callers who want to interact with
 * multiple HAWK services should instantiate one HawkClient per service.
