mod_http_oauth2: Enforce the registered grant types Thus a client can limit itself to certain grant types. Not sure if this prevents any attacks, but what was the point of including this in the registration if it was not going to be enforced? This became easier to do with client_id being available earlier.

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
