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.

This module is deprecated as it depends on the deprecated
[mod_privacy_lists], use the core module
[mod_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist] instead.

Introduction
============

Privacy lists are a widely implemented protocol for instructing your
server on blocking communications with selected users and services.

However experience has shown that the power and flexibility of the
rule-based system that privacy lists allow is very often much more
complex than the user needs, and that in most cases a simple block on
all communications to or from a list of specified JIDs would suffice.

Such a protocol would also allow much simpler user interface design than
the current attempts at full privacy list interfaces.

Details
=======

Simple Communications Blocking was developed to solve the above issues,
and allows the client to manage a simple list of blocked JIDs. This
plugin implements support for that protocol in Prosody, however the
actual blocking is still managed by mod\_privacy, so it is **required**
for that plugin to be loaded (this may change in future).

An XEP-0191 implementation without dependency on mod\_privacy is
available in Prosody 0.10 as [mod\_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist].

Configuration
=============

Simply ensure that [mod_privacy_lists] and mod_blocking are loaded in
your modules_enabled list:

        modules_enabled = {
                        -- ...
                        "privacy_lists",
                        "blocking",
                        -- ...
