3 Lets you easily publish data to PubSub using a HTTP POST request. The | |
4 payload can be Atom feeds, arbitrary XML, or arbitrary JSON. The type | |
5 should be indicated via the `Content-Type` header. | |
6 | |
7 ``` {.bash} | |
8 curl http://localhost:5280/pubsub_post/princely_musings \ | |
9 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ | |
10 --data-binary '{"musing":"To be, or not to be: that is the question"}' | |
11 ``` | |

3100 | 18 # Configuration |
19 | |
20 ## Authentication | |
21 | |
22 Authentication can be handled in two different ways. | |
23 | |
24 ### None | |
25 | |
26 ``` {.lua} | |
27 pubsub_post_actor = "superuser" | |
28 ``` | |
29 | |
30 The module uses an internal actor that has all privileges and can always | |
31 do everything. It is strongly suggested that you do not expose this to | |
32 the Internet. *Maybe* it shouldn't be the default... | |
33 | |
34 ### IP | |
35 | |
36 ``` {.lua} | |
37 pubsub_post_actor = "request.ip" | |
38 ``` | |
39 | |
40 Uses the IP address from the HTTP request as actor, which means this | |
41 pseudo-JID must be given a 'publisher' affiliation. This should work | |
42 nicely with the `autocreate_on_publish` setting, where the first actor | |
43 to attempt to publish to a non-existant node becomes owner of it, which | |
44 includes publishing rights. | |
