mod_http_oauth2: Implement stateless dynamic client registration Replaces previous explicit registration that required either the additional module mod_adhoc_oauth2_client or manually editing the database. That method was enough to have something to test with, but would not probably not scale easily. Dynamic client registration allows creating clients on the fly, which may be even easier in theory. In order to not allow basically unauthenticated writes to the database, we implement a stateless model here. per_host_key := HMAC(config -> oauth2_registration_key, hostname) client_id := JWT { client metadata } signed with per_host_key client_secret := HMAC(per_host_key, client_id) This should ensure everything we need to know is part of the client_id, allowing redirects etc to be validated, and the client_secret can be validated with only the client_id and the per_host_key. A nonce injected into the client_id JWT should ensure nobody can submit the same client metadata and retrieve the same client_secret

summary: 'MQTT interface to Prosody''s pubsub'
...

Introduction
------------

[MQTT](http://mqtt.org/) is a lightweight binary pubsub protocol suited
to embedded devices. This module provides a way for MQTT clients to
connect to Prosody and publish or subscribe to local pubsub nodes.

Details
-------

MQTT has the concept of 'topics' (similar to XMPP's pubsub 'nodes').
mod\_pubsub\_mqtt maps pubsub nodes to MQTT topics of the form
`HOST/NODE`, e.g.`pubsub.example.org/mynode`.

### Limitations

The current implementation is quite basic, and in particular:

-   Authentication is not supported
-   SSL/TLS is not supported
-   Only QoS level 0 is supported

### Payloads

XMPP payloads are always XML, but MQTT does not define a payload format.
Therefore mod\_pubsub\_mqtt will attempt to convert data of certain
recognised payload types. Currently supported:

-   JSON (see [XEP-0335](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0335.html) for
    the format)
-   Plain UTF-8 text (wrapped inside
    `<data xmlns="https://prosody.im/protocol/mqtt"/>`)

All other XMPP payload types are sent to the client directly as XML.
Data published by MQTT clients is currently never translated, and always
treated as UTF-8 text.

Configuration
-------------

There is no special configuration for this module. Simply load it on
your pubsub host like so:

    Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub"
        modules_enabled = { "pubsub_mqtt" }

You may also configure which port(s) mod\_pubsub\_mqtt listens on using
Prosody's standard config directives, such as `mqtt_ports`. Network
settings **must** be specified in the global section of the config file,
not under any particular pubsub component. The default port is 1883
(MQTT's standard port number).

Compatibility
-------------

  ------- --------------
  trunk   Works
  0.9     Works
  0.8     Doesn't work
