mod_http_oauth2: Support HTTP Basic auth on token endpoint
This is described in RFC 6749 section 2.3.1 and draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-07 2.3.1
as the recommended way to transmit the client's credentials.
The older spec even calls it the "client password", but the new spec clarifies
that this is just another term for the client secret.

--- 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
