mod_http_oauth2: Strip unknown extra fields from client registration We shouldn't sign things we don't understand! RFC 7591 section-2 states: > The authorization server MUST ignore any client metadata sent by the > client that it does not understand (for instance, by silently removing > unknown metadata from the client's registration record during > processing). Prevents grandfathering in of unvalidated data that might become used later, especially since the 'additionalProperties' schema keyword was removed in 698fef74ce53

summary: Module for improving the life of bot authors
---

This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the
requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room.

All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the
rest.

# Configuration

Example configuration in Prosody:

```lua
Component "muc.example.com" "muc"

modules_enabled = {
    "muc_bot",
}
known_bots = { "bot@example.com" }
bots_get_messages = false
ignore_bot_errors = true
```

# Sending messages

Simply send a stanza like this from your bot:

```xml
<message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com">
  <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body>
  <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick>
</message>
```

## Use with mod_rest

Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join
with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well!

```bash
curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \
    -d body="beep boop" \
    -d nick="Botty"
```

# Compatibility

Works with Prosody 0.12 or later.
