49 ### Fetching rosters (Prosody to web app)
50
51 Prosody considers the web application to always hold the most accurate and up-to-date
52 version of the user's roster. When a user first connects, Prosody fetches the roster
53 from the web application and caches it internally.
54
55 Prosody will make a GET request to the URL specified in Prosody's configuration parameter
56 'http_roster_url'. In this URL, the pattern '%s' is replaced by an URL-encoded username.
57
58 For example, when the user 'john' connects to Prosody, and http_roster_url is set
59 to "http://app.example.com/contacts/%s", Prosody will make a GET request to "http://app.example.com/contacts/john".
60
61 The web app must return a JSON object, where each key is the JID of a contact, and the corresponding
62 value is data about that contact.
63
64 If the user 'john' has friends 'marie' and 'michael', the web app would return a HTTP '200 OK' response
65 with the following contents:
66
67 {
68 "marie@example.com": {
69 "name": "Marie"
70 },
71
72 "michael@example.com": {
73 "name": "Michael"
