mod_http_oauth2: Always show early errors to user
Before having validated the client_id, communicating an error back to
the client via redirect would make this an open redirect, so we may just
as well skip past that logic, and especially the warning log message.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: Send XMPP stanzas via REST/HTTP ... This module provides a [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)ful method for sending XMPP stanzas. This enables you to send stanzas by making HTTP requests to `http://${prosody-url}/rest`. **DANGER/ACHTUNG!: This module does NOT enforce any authentication or user-checking. This means that by default stanzas can be sent *anyone* on behalf of *any* user.** You should enable [mod_http_authentication](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_http_authentication.html), to require authentication for calls made to this module, or alternatively, you could use a reverse proxy like Nginx. # To enable this module Add `"http_rest"` to `modules_enabled`, either globally or for a particular virtual host. # How to test: You can use curl to make the HTTP request to Prosody, to test whether this module is working properly: curl -k http://localhost:5280/rest -u username:password -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<iq to="pubsub.localhost" type="set" id="4dd1a1e3-ef91-4017-a5aa-eaba0a82eb94-1" from="user@localhost"><pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"><publish node="Test mod_rest.lua"><item>Hello World!</item></publish></pubsub></iq>'
