thanks for checking this out.
prime information about tokens not matching letsencrypt.
i have been attempting to capture the ip from request headers but i have not as of yet been successful with the various other life things going on.
the plan is to set up a route at .well-known/acme-challenge/[token] and persist the remote addresses until i can review them
edit: i've set up a route for capturing the agent header. i'll see what it nets
edit2:
i'm so confused. the firebase project was deleted. anyways, i think we have a resolution here.
i have opened a ticket with google firebase (google cloud services) and requested an investigation.
here is a link to what i believe to be the exact issue experienced here.
thank you once again for all of your assistance
