mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets
Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which
would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has
several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user().
The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed
event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect
existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event).
Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do.

Simple module adding an endpoint meant to be used for health checks. # Configuration After installing, enable by adding to [`modules_enabled`][doc:modules_enabled] like many other modules: ``` lua -- in the global section modules_enabled = { -- Other globally enabled modules here... "http_health"; -- add } ``` ## Access control By default only access via localhost is allowed. This can be adjusted with `http_health_allow_ips`. The following example shows the default: ``` http_health_allow_ips = { "::1"; "127.0.0.1" } ``` Access can also be granted to one IP range via CIDR notation: ``` http_health_allow_cidr = "172.17.2.0/24" ``` The default for `http_health_allow_cidr` is empty. # Details Adds a `http://your.prosody.example:5280/health` endpoint that returns either HTTP status code 200 when all appears to be good or 500 when any module [status][doc:developers:moduleapi#logging-and-status] has been set to `error`. # See also - [mod_measure_modules] provides module statues via OpenMetrics - [mod_http_status] provides all module status details as JSON via HTTP
