perfsonar development work

Hi,

While testing out RRD MA (from perfsonar 1.0) and SQL MA (snapshot), I 
noticed that the response messages for a SetupDataRequest *without key* 
message does not provide a key back along with measurement data in the 
response. I remember that this wasn't the case some time ago.

I support the idea of sending a key back for such requests. It allows us 
to say "Here is the matching metadata and data for your request and 
also, here is a key that you can use the next time you want data for the 
same metadata".

Based on my experience, I believe including the key in the response 
requires a very minor change in the service engine code. All services 
implementing the key mechanism should similarly provide the key back for 
such requests.

Any comments?

Loukik.
