Publishing Polls

        The value saved would be <room ID>-<poll title> <---> 9999 (done)
        Also to create a point of reference for the four digit integer a single database entry is created in Redis as: "WebPollReferenceID" <---> 1. It will be used to fetch the next poll ID and will be added by one each time an ID is fetched. The value is recycled back to 1 when it is 9999. (done)
        When the presenter stops a poll that has been published to the web, the webKey stored in Redis is deleted to prevent further voting.(done) Also, the poll keeps track of which webKey it is currently using (needs further testing)
