Call schedule.intervalStart() to get epoch for HTTPS bridge request.
The ``epoch`` of a request is a value that is supposed to be the interval of time which the request occurred within, i.e. a request at 14:18 is in the 10-minute interval of 14:10-14:20. This ``epoch`` is used to obtain bridges in response to a client's request, specifically, it's a parameter to the ``bridgedb.Dist.getBridgesForIP()`` method, which does all the real work.
In implementation (up until a couple weeks ago), there was an odd thing in that a request's ``epoch`` was always hardcoded to be ``"1970"``. I changed the part which returns ``"1970"`` to return an ISO-8601 timestamp, under the assumtion that anything asking for an interval would use the ``intervalStart()`` or ``nextIntervalStarts()`` methods to compare the curr ent timestamp to the interval it should reside within. My assumption was wrong; in ``bridgedb.Dist.getBridgesForIP()``, in the first line of that method, ``schedule.getInterval()`` is called instead. I had even made an XXX note a long time ago stating that this was a dumb thing to do. I forgot to change it. Oops.
The fix is to change the first line of ``bridgedb.Dist.getBridgesForIP()`` from ``self.schedule.getInterval()`` to ``self.schedule.intervalStarts()` `. This was also preventing the CAPTCHA expiration from functioning correctly.
After making this change, it exhibits the correct behaviour, which is, first, to only respond after determining that we're within the 10-minute interval in which the CAPTCHA was issued, and second, determine if the solution to the CATPCHA is correct (and if so give the bridges that we would give to that IP address cluster, ignoring time intervals altogether).
