mod_http_oauth2: Use new mod_cron API for periodic cleanup Less frequent but this isn't that important after all since, as the comment states, expired codes are not usable anyway. They're also not that large so memory usage probably doesn't matter.

Introduction
============

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody trunk
