mod_cloud_notify_encrypted: Ensure body substring remains valid UTF-8
The `body:sub()` call risks splitting the string in the middle of a
multi-byte UTF-8 sequence. This should have been caught by util.stanza
validation, but that would have caused some havoc, at the very least causing
the notification to not be sent.
There have been no reports of this happening. Likely because this module
isn't widely deployed among users with languages that use many longer UTF-8
sequences.
The util.encodings.utf8.valid() function is O(n) where only the last
sequence really needs to be checked, but it's in C and expected to be fast.

--- labels: summary: 'HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism' ... Introduction ------------ This module gives HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism. It uses normal HTTP verbs and [Basic HTTP authentication](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), so you could call it RESTful if you like buzzwords. Syntax ------ To Fetch data, issue a normal GET request GET /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store>[/<format>] HTTP/1.1 Authorization: <base64(authzid:password)> OR PUT|POST /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store> HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/x-lua | application/json <data> These map to `datamanager.method(user, host, store, data)`, where choice of `method` and its parameters are explained below. ### Verbs Verb Meaning datamanager method -------- ------------------------------- --------------------------- `GET` Just fetch data `load()` or `list_load()` `PUT` Replace all data in the store `store()` `POST` Append item to the store `list_append()` Note: In a `GET` request, if `load()` returns `nil`, `list_load()` will be tried instead. ### Fields Field Description Default ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- `host` Which virtual host to access Required. If not set in the path, the domain-part of the authzid is used. `user` Which users storage to access Required. If not set in the path, uses the node part of the authzid. `store` Which storage to access. Required. `format` Which format to serialize to. `json` and `lua` are supported. When uploading data, the `Content-Type` header is used. `json` `data` The actual data to upload in a `PUT` or `POST` request. `nil` Note: Only admins can change data for users other than themselves. ### Example usage Here follows some example usage using `curl`. Get your account details: curl http://prosody.local:5280/data/accounts -u user@example.com:secr1t {"password":"secr1t"} Set someones account details: curl -X PUT http://prosody.local:5280/data/example.com/user/accounts -u admin@host:r00tp4ssw0rd --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"password":"changeme"}' ### Client library - https://metacpan.org/module/Prosody::Mod::Data::Access ### TODO - Use `Accept` header.
