mod_http_oauth2: Rescope oauth client config into users' storage
This produces client_id of the form owner@host/random and prevents
clients from being deleted by registering an account with the same name
and then deleting the account, as well as having the client
automatically be deleted when the owner account is removed.
On one hand, this leaks the bare JID of the creator to users. On the
other hand, it makes it obvious who made the oauth application.
This module is experimental and only for developers, so this can be
changed if a better method comes up.

--- labels: summary: 'HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism' ... Introduction ------------ This module gives HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism. It uses normal HTTP verbs and [Basic HTTP authentication](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), so you could call it RESTful if you like buzzwords. Syntax ------ To Fetch data, issue a normal GET request GET /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store>[/<format>] HTTP/1.1 Authorization: <base64(authzid:password)> OR PUT|POST /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store> HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/x-lua | application/json <data> These map to `datamanager.method(user, host, store, data)`, where choice of `method` and its parameters are explained below. ### Verbs Verb Meaning datamanager method -------- ------------------------------- --------------------------- `GET` Just fetch data `load()` or `list_load()` `PUT` Replace all data in the store `store()` `POST` Append item to the store `list_append()` Note: In a `GET` request, if `load()` returns `nil`, `list_load()` will be tried instead. ### Fields Field Description Default ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- `host` Which virtual host to access Required. If not set in the path, the domain-part of the authzid is used. `user` Which users storage to access Required. If not set in the path, uses the node part of the authzid. `store` Which storage to access. Required. `format` Which format to serialize to. `json` and `lua` are supported. When uploading data, the `Content-Type` header is used. `json` `data` The actual data to upload in a `PUT` or `POST` request. `nil` Note: Only admins can change data for users other than themselves. ### Example usage Here follows some example usage using `curl`. Get your account details: curl http://prosody.local:5280/data/accounts -u user@example.com:secr1t {"password":"secr1t"} Set someones account details: curl -X PUT http://prosody.local:5280/data/example.com/user/accounts -u admin@host:r00tp4ssw0rd --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"password":"changeme"}' ### Client library - https://metacpan.org/module/Prosody::Mod::Data::Access ### TODO - Use `Accept` header.
