The examples are inconsistent and confusing wrt authentication,
hopefully these words help a bit.

| 10 This module let's you activate a httpserver interface to handle data | |
| 11 from webforms with POST and Base64 encoded JSON. | |

| 13 Implementation Details | |
| 14 ---------------------- | |

| 16 Example Request format: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 POST /your_register_base_url HTTP/1.1 | |

| 37 Your form implementation needs to pass **all** parameters, the | |
| 2876 | 38 auth\_token is needed to prevent misuses, if the request is successful |
| 1803 | 39 the server will answer with status code 200 and with the body of the |
| 40 response containing the token which your web app can send via e-mail to | |
| 41 the user to complete the registration. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 Else, it will reply with the following http error codes: | |
| 44 | |
| 45 - 400 - if there's an error syntax; | |
| 46 - 401 - whenever an username is already pending registration or the | |
| 47 auth token supplied is invalid; | |
| 48 - 403 - whenever registration is forbidden (blacklist, filtered mail | |
| 49 etc.); | |
| 50 - 406 - if the username supplied fails nodeprepping; | |
| 51 - 409 - if the user already exists, or an user is associated already | |
| 52 with the supplied e-mail; | |
| 53 - 503 - whenever a request is throttled. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 The verification URL path to direct the users to will be: | |
| 56 **/your-base-path-of-choice/verify/** - on your Prosody's http server. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 The module for now stores a hash of the user's mail address to help slow | |
| 59 down duplicated registrations. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 It's strongly encouraged to have the web server communicate with the | |
| 62 servlet via https. | |
| 63 | |
| 64 Usage | |
| 65 ----- | |
| 66 | |
| 67 Copy the module folder and all its contents (register\_json) into your | |
| 68 prosody modules' directory.Add the module your vhost of choice | |
| 69 modules\_enabled. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 Hint: pairing with mod\_register\_redirect is helpful, to allow server | |
| 72 registrations only via your webform. | |
