mod_http: Limit unencrypted http port (5280) to loopback by default
Since accessing this port directly over the wider Internet is unlikely
to intentional anymore. Most uses will likely be by reverse proxies, by
mistake or because of trouble configuring HTTPS.
Blocking mistaken uses is just a good thing, letting users send
potentially private things unencrypted tends to be Strongly Discouraged
these days.
Many reverse proxy setups operate over loopback, so listening there
instead of all interfaces is a net improvement.
Improved automatic certificate location and SNI support has mostly
eliminated the need for manual certificate configuration so HTTPS should
Just Work once certificates have been provided.
For local testing during development, connecting over loopback is likely
fine as well. When really needed, `http_interfaces` can still be set.

Structure of a session: session { -- properties -- conn -- the tcp connection notopen -- true if stream has not been initiated, removed after receiving <stream:steam> type -- the connection type. Valid values include: -- "c2s_unauthed" - connection has not been authenticated yet -- "c2s" - from a local client to the server username -- the node part of the client's jid (not defined before auth) host -- the host part of the client's jid (not defined before stream initiation) resource -- the resource part of the client's full jid (not defined before resource binding) full_jid -- convenience for the above 3 as string in username@host/resource form (not defined before resource binding) priority -- the resource priority, default: 0 presence -- the last non-directed presence with no type attribute. initially nil. reset to nil on unavailable presence. interested -- true if the resource requested the roster. Interested resources receive roster updates. Initially nil. roster -- the user's roster. Loaded as soon as the resource is bound (session becomes a connected resource). -- methods -- send(x) -- converts x to a string, and writes it to the connection close(x) -- Disconnect the user and clean up the session, best call sessionmanager.destroy_session() instead of this in most cases } if session.full_jid (also session.roster and session.resource) then this is a "connected resource" if session.presence then this is an "available resource" (all available resources are connected resources) if session.interested then this is an "interested resource" (all interested resources are connected resources)
