From the linked PR:
Based on the discussion in the previous PR, I propose this format:
{ "i": [2, "indico.cern.ch", b64(checkin_secret)] }""(edit: we useias a key)https, we strip itUsing
indico.cern.chas an example, we go from 178 to 49 characters, ~28% of the original size.For accompanying persons, we could simply append the (base64-encoded) person id which would give us 76 characters (177 with the old format) so ~43% of the original size.
