Description

Stops doing validation of characters in API key. Validation of secrets is challenging. Furthermore, any possible changes on the API key format would mean users would have to upgrade their clients; being more flexible and leaving validation for runtime helps avoid unnecessary upgrades.

This solved a particular bug did it not? I'll have to look back to see if the underlying issue was fixed.
