mod_http_oauth2: Use more compact IDs UUIDs are nice but so verbose!

1803 4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	50 A certain number of events are allowed per second, given by
4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	51 muc\_event\_rate. An event rate of 1 allows one event per second, and
