mod_pubsub_feeds: Track latest timestamp seen in feeds instead of last poll This should ensure that an entry that has a publish timestmap after the previously oldest post, but before the time of the last poll check, is published to the node. Previously if an entry would be skipped if it was published at 13:00 with a timestamp of 12:30, where the last poll was at 12:45. For feeds that lack a timestamp, it now looks for the first post that is not published, assuming that the feed is in reverse chronological order, then iterates back up from there.

summary: 'Test account credentials using HTTP'
...

Introduction
------------

This module lets you test whether a set of credentials are valid,
using Prosody's configured authentication mechanism.

This is useful as an easy way to allow other (e.g. non-XMPP) applications
to authenticate users using their XMPP credentials.

Syntax
------

To test credentials, issue a simple GET request with HTTP basic auth:

    GET /auth_check HTTP/1.1
    Authorization: Basic <base64(jid:password)>

Prosody will return a 2xx code on success (user exists and credentials are
correct), or 401 if the credentials are invalid. Any other code may be returned
if there is a problem handling the request.

### Example usage

Here follows some example usage using `curl`.

    curl http://prosody.local:5280/auth_check -u user@example.com:secr1t
