mod_rest: Catch and log errors in callback promise chain
From the code it looks like it should be possible to reply to an error
stanza, but it did not. Turns out I was saved by my local developer mode
module which throws errors if an attempt is made to create an errror
reply to an error stanza. However nothing collects this error from the
promise, so all I got was confusion.

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

| 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. | |
