mod_report_forward: Fix traceback on error message passed to datetime function If archive:get() returns an error, e.g. because it can't find a message with the given ID, it may return e.g. nil, "item-not-found" or similar where the error condition ends up in reported_message_time, which gets passed to util.datetime, which thus ends up doing math to a string or error object.

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
