sovrn creative id is random

Description

when requesting an ad from sovrn bidder http://ap.lijit.com/rtb/bid?src=prebid_prebid_0.34.1 the response contains id, impid and nurl.
none of those parameters are unique per ad (creative id), and we can't identify an ad in that way (to blacklist for example).
any other partner are indeed returning a creative id (appnexus, Rubicon etc..)

in their RTB bidder on this URL: http://ap.lijit.com/bidder they indeed return a creative id.
can we tag them to add this also to their prebid bidder? what is the difference between the two endpoints anyway? why aren't we using the second one?
any suggestions?

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. We will investigate and prioritize.

[smartbidder1]

Hi, just wanted to check for updates.
It's important in order to find, block and report ads that are playing auto-sound/doing a full page redirection.

Hi @smartbidder1, we understand the importance of relaying accurate creative id's and are actively working on a fix.

Thanks!
