Request a token for validating a phone number.

POST {{baseUrl}}/validate/msisdn/requestToken

Create a session for validating a phone number.

The identity server will send an SMS message containing a token. If that token is presented to the identity server in the future, it indicates that that user was able to read the SMS for that phone number, and so we validate ownership of the phone number.

Note that homeservers offer APIs that proxy this API, adding additional behaviour on top, for example, /register/msisdn/requestToken is designed specifically for use when registering an account and therefore will inform the user if the phone number given is already registered on the server.

Note: for backwards compatibility with previous drafts of this specification, the parameters may also be specified as application/x-form-www-urlencoded data. However, this usage is deprecated.
