That's correct.

The actual documentation is on the Wiki:

Again, Zenon is perfectly right here. It's all plain JSON now, and
attributes are either a pair with NAME/VALUE or a triplet with
NAME/LANG/VALUE for attributes which are languaguage-dependent.

Since you use Python and are already encoding in JSON internally, it
should be a quick and easy change to put this on the wire. Basically you
can simply throw away old unnecessary cruft like the "S123" grouping and
form attachments. Specifically, I suggest that you put the PEM of your
CA inline in the JSON construct rather than by ftp:// reference.

Since this is urgent for you, feel free to get in touch with me directly
off-list for any further questions.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
