New public method
EventUtility.ValidateSignature
to validate a webhook payload without parsing the event.Rationale:
When we receive a webhook, we want to do the following steps:
-Verify the signature
-Save the payload in our database
-Return HTTP 200
This is a best practice to return a response to Stripe immediately and save the webhook for later processing.
We don't want to parse the event when receiving the webhook.
-It's an added perf cost that is not necessary
-In addition, if we have changed our account API version, our webhook may not be able to parse the events, until we update it with the matching version of Stripe.net
I hope it all makes sense?
