mod_audit: Support for adding location (GeoIP) to audit events This can be more privacy-friendly than logging full IP addresses, and also more informative to a user - IP addresses don't mean much to the average person, however if they see activity from outside their expected country, they can immediately identify suspicious activity. As with IPs, this field is configurable for deployments that would like to disable it. Location is also not logged when the geoip library is not available.

18e6d437003f mod_component_http: Allow implementing a component over HTTP Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	8 This module allows you to implement a component that speaks HTTP. Stanzas (such as messages) coming from XMPP are sent to
18e6d437003f mod_component_http: Allow implementing a component over HTTP Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	9 a configurable URL as a HTTP POST. If the POST returns a response, that response is returned to the sender over XMPP.

18e6d437003f mod_component_http: Allow implementing a component over HTTP Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	101 This means that by default presence stanzas are not forwarded to the configured URL. To provide your own presence handling, you can override
18e6d437003f mod_component_http: Allow implementing a component over HTTP Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	102 this by adding "presence" to the component\_post\_stanzas option in your config.
