| 2 | |
| 3 Lets you easily publish data to PubSub using a HTTP POST request. The | |
| 4 payload can be Atom feeds, arbitrary XML, or arbitrary JSON. The type | |
| 5 should be indicated via the `Content-Type` header. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 ``` {.bash} | |
| 8 curl http://localhost:5280/pubsub_post/princely_musings \ | |
| 9 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ | |
| 10 --data-binary '{"musing":"To be, or not to be: that is the question"}' | |
| 11 ``` | |

| 3100 | 18 # Configuration |
| 19 | |
| 20 ## Authentication | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Authentication can be handled in two different ways. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 ### None | |
| 25 | |
| 26 ``` {.lua} | |
| 27 pubsub_post_actor = "superuser" | |
| 28 ``` | |
| 29 | |
| 30 The module uses an internal actor that has all privileges and can always | |
| 31 do everything. It is strongly suggested that you do not expose this to | |
| 32 the Internet. *Maybe* it shouldn't be the default... | |
| 33 | |
| 34 ### IP | |
| 35 | |
| 36 ``` {.lua} | |
| 37 pubsub_post_actor = "request.ip" | |
| 38 ``` | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Uses the IP address from the HTTP request as actor, which means this | |
| 41 pseudo-JID must be given a 'publisher' affiliation. This should work | |
| 42 nicely with the `autocreate_on_publish` setting, where the first actor | |
| 43 to attempt to publish to a non-existant node becomes owner of it, which | |
| 44 includes publishing rights. | |

| 54 local mod_pubsub = module:depends("pubsub"); | |
| 55 local pubsub = mod_pubsub.service; | |
| 56 | |
| 57 pubsub:create("princely_musings", true); | |
| 58 pubsub:set_affiliation("princely_musings", true, "127.0.0.1", "publisher"); | |
| 59 ``` |
