Hi,
Aug 26, 2012 :) that was 10 years ago
Anyhow, yes, it generates some kind of unique id and I checked the code and
it seems it does not create a valid uuid, it's just a random string with
hex characters or maybe it's converted from
"6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8" to 6BA7B8129DAD11D180B400C04FD430C8
without dashes and uppercase?
One might expect uuid to look something like this, each segment hex encoded
UUID = time-low "-" time-mid "-"
time-high-and-version "-"
clock-seq-and-reserved
clock-seq-low "-" node
Is this by purpose? Is there any way to get a valid uuid defined in
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122.html ?
Best regards Johan Ryberg
