/**
* @function post_post(&$a)
* zot communications and messaging
*
* Sender HTTP posts to this endpoint ($site/post typically) with 'data' parameter set to json zot message packet.
* This packet is optionally encrypted, which we will discover if the json has an 'iv' element.
* $contents => array( 'alg' => 'aes256cbc', 'iv' => initialisation vector, 'key' => decryption key, 'data' => encrypted data);
* $contents->iv and $contents->key are random strings encrypted with this site's public key.
* Currently only 'aes256cbc' is used, but this is extensible should that algorithm prove inadequate.
*
* Once decrypted, one will find the normal json_encoded zot message packet.
*
* Standard packet:
*
* {
* "type": $message_type,
* "sender":{
* "guid":"kgVFf_1...",
* "guid_sig":"PT9-TApzp...",
* "url":"http:\/\/podunk.edu",
* "url_sig":"T8Bp7j5...",
* },
* "recipients": { optional recipient array },
* "callback":"\/post",
* "version":1,
* "secret":"1eaa...",
* "secret_sig": "df89025470fac8..."
* }
*
* Signature fields are all signed with the sender's private key.
* Recipients are arrays of guid and guid_sig which were signed with the recipients private
* key and obtained via channel discovery.
*
* "pickup" packet:
* The pickup packet is sent in response to a notify packet from another site
*
* {
* "type":"pickup",
* "url":"http:\/\/example.com",
* "callback":"http:\/\/example.com\/post",
* "callback_sig":"teE1_fLI...",
* "secret":"1eaa...",
* "secret_sig":"O7nB4_..."
* }
*
* In the pickup packet, the sig fields are the relevant data element signed with this site's system private key.
* The "secret" is the same as the original secret from the notify packet.
*
* If verification is successful, a json structure is returned
* containing a success indicator and an array of type 'pickup'.
* Each pickup element contains the original notify request and a message field whose contents are
* dependent on the message type
*
* This JSON array is AES encapsulated using the site public key of the site that sent the initial zot pickup packet.
* Using the above example, this would be example.com.
*
*
* {
* "success":1,
* "pickup":{
* "notify":{
* "type":"notify",
* "sender":{
* "guid":"kgVFf_...",
* "guid_sig":"PT9-TApz...",
* "url":"http:\/\/z.podunk.edu",
* "url_sig":"T8Bp7j5D..."
* },
* "callback":"\/post",
* "version":1,
* "secret":"1eaa661..."
* },
* "message":{
* "type":"activity",
* "message_id":"10b049ce384cbb2da9467319bc98169ab36290b8bbb403aa0c0accd9cb072e76@podunk.edu",

*}
*
* Currently defined message types are 'activity', 'mail', 'profile' and 'channel_sync', which each have
* different content schemas.
