Will check it out, thanks.

I would be glad to contribute it, it should not be hard to make it
application independent:
- Specify what headers/query parameters to include (by name or
pattern) in the check
- Specify header/query parameter containing the HMAC
- Specify a plug-in parameter collector
- Specify a plug-in HMAC validator
- Specify a plug-in secret key retriever
This can be done quite generically with some useful packaged defaults
