mod_http_oauth2: Switch to '303 See Other' redirects
This is the recommendation by draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-07 section 7.5.2. It is
the only redirect code that guarantees the user agent will use a GET request,
rather than re-submitting a POST request to the new URL.
The latter would be bad for us, as we are encoding auth tokens in the form
data.

--- labels: - Stage-Alpha ... 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
