[asterisk-app-dev] ARI timestamps in Unix format

[Daniel Jenkins]

I think having these kinds of things configurable is just going to cause
issues in the long run, it's an API (even if this is the websocket part),
you wouldn't go and ask github or twitter to be able to configure what
format their date formats come back in would you?

unix timestamps can cause a lot of issues when it comes to JS/PHP etc - not
so much I guess when it comes to a call thats going on for 2 minutes but....

I'd rather keep to a single format and for that format to be one that can
be parsed easily - so YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, it's a big topic and
unfortunately there was never an agreed standard :(
