Section: 3

Original Text
-------------
   As in Section 2.4, the token refers to the algorithm name, and the
   quoted-string refers to the base64 encoding of the SPKI Fingerprint.
   When formulating the JSON POST body, the UA MUST either use single-
   quoted JSON strings or use double-quoted JSON strings and backslash-
   escape the embedded double quotes in the quoted-string part of the
   known-pin.

....

      'pin-sha256="d6qzRu9zOECb90Uez27xWltNsj0e1Md7GkYYkVoZWmM="',

Notes
-----
This RFC seems to think that single quotes are permissible in JSON. This is not 
the case. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-7
