mod_rest: Use logger of HTTP request in trunk
In Prosody trunk rev c975dafa4303 each HTTP request gained its own log
sink, to make it easy to log things related to each request and group
those messages. Especially where async is used, spreading the request
and response apart as mod_rest does with iq stanzas, this grouped
logging should help find related messages.

16 First, download and add the module to `module_enabled`. Then you can |
| 1842 | 17 decide on what policy you want to have. |
| 18 | |
| 19 Requiring ciphers with forward secrecy is the most simple to set up. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 ``` lua | |
| 22 tls_policy = "FS" -- allow only ciphers that enable forward secrecy | |
| 23 ``` | |
| 24 | |
| 25 A more complicated example: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 ``` lua | |
| 28 tls_policy = { | |
| 29 c2s = { | |
| 30 encryption = "AES"; -- Require AES (or AESGCM) encryption | |
| 31 protocol = "TLSv1.2"; -- and TLSv1.2 | |
| 32 bits = 128; -- and at least 128 bits (FIXME: remember what this meant) | |
| 33 } | |
| 34 s2s = { | |
| 35 cipher = "AESGCM"; -- Require AESGCM ciphers | |
| 36 protocol = "TLSv1.[12]"; -- and TLSv1.1 or 1.2 | |
| 37 authentication = "RSA"; -- with RSA authentication | |
| 38 }; | |
| 39 } | |
| 40 ``` | |
| 41 | |
| 42 # Compatibility | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Requires LuaSec 0.5 | |
