I would like to write points into an influx 0.8 database with the time values given in seconds through HTTP. Here's a sample point in JSON format:

```
[
    {
        "points": [
            [
                1435692857.0,
                897
            ]
        ],
        "name": "some_series",
        "columns": [
            "time",
            "value"
        ]
    }
]

```

The documentation is unclear what the format of time values should be (nano or milli seconds?) and how to specify to influxdb what to expect. Currently I'm using a query parameter: `precision=s`

That seems to work fine, the server returns HTTP Status code 200 as expected. When querying against the database using influx' admin interface using `select * from some_series` the datapoints in the table are returned with the expected timestamp. On the graph however, the time axis is indexed with fractions of seconds and queries like `select * from some_series where time > now() - 1h` dont yield any results.

I assume that there is something wrong with the timestamps. I tried multiplying my value by 1000 but then nothing gets inserted into the database with no visible errors.

Whats the problem?
