Get ACME account status

ACME Account URL shall never be changed. So it's not strictly necessary to go through the authorization process each time, if the URL is already known.

However, it might be required to get the actual status of the ACME Account. In order to do so, ACME client must send a POST request with an empty payload to the ACME Account URL:

POST https://stica.peeringhub.io/acme/acct/6A1AD155B73D45448E7B832888C3EF54
Content-Type: application/jose+json
Content-Length: 429
{
  "protected" : BASE64URL(
    {
      "alg" : "ES256",
      "nonce" : "E48E837729264688A335A0092370EF3B",
      "url" : "https://stica.peeringhub.io/acme/acct/6A1AD155B73D45448E7B832888C3EF54",
      "kid" : "https://stica.peeringhub.io/acme/acct/6A1AD155B73D45448E7B832888C3EF54"
    }
  ),
  "payload": "",
  "signature" : "<base64url-encoded signature>"
}

ACME server should reply with an ACME Account object, which includes a status, and orders URL, from which client may retrieve a list of active certificate orders.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  "orders" : "https://stica.peeringhub.io/acme/orders/6A1AD155B73D45448E7B832888C3EF54"
}

Possible values of the ACME Account status are:

• "valid" - account is active

• "deactivated" - disabled by the user

• "revoked" - disabled by the server
