Public id for signed uploads

Hi,

I cannot figure out why I cannot set a public id when using signed uploads.

I'm using these init options with the createUploadWidget method:

const widget = cloudinary.createUploadWidget(
{
   cloudName,
   apiKey,
   uploadSignatureTimestamp,
   uploadSignature,
   folder:"test",
   // publicId: "special",
})

And signing like this: 

const signature = cloudinary.v2.utils.api_sign_request(
{
  timestamp,
  source:"uw",
  folder:"test",
  // publicId: "special",
}, cloudinary.v2.config().api_secret);

But I'm getting the signature invalid error. If I remove the publicIds from both, then the uploads work perfectly fine.

  Hi Adrian,

  Thank you for reaching out.

  When you sign the request in the backend, set the public id parameter as public_id instead of just publicId (this is what the widget uses).

  So in the widget set:

  publicId: "special"

  In the backend, set:

  public_id: "special"

  Please let me know if you have any other questions or queries.
  
  Kind Regards,
  Thomas

  Thank you Thomas,

  I could not figure that out from the docs. It works now!
