Adds a random unique ID to the request. As the POST data is never logged, this should prevent replay attacks even if logging is set to verbose.

Adds a random unique ID to the request.
As the POST data is never logged, this should prevent replay attacks even if logging is set to verbose.
If the randomness is not trusted an additional salt can still be added using
but this shouldn't be necessary.
Also the user can verify, that the request is unique by storing the previous request IDs. But I don't think this is necessary either.
Therefore I conclude that this PR closes distributhor#22.
