mod_http_oauth2: Allow requesting a subset of scopes on token refresh
This enables clients to request access tokens with fewer permissions
than the grant they were given, reducing impact of token leak. Clients
could e.g. request access tokens with some privileges and immediately
revoke them after use, or other strategies.

| 3 summary: 'HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism' | |
| 4 ... | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Introduction | |
| 7 ------------ | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This module gives HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism. It uses | |
| 10 normal HTTP verbs and [Basic HTTP | |
| 11 authentication](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), so you could call | |
| 12 it RESTful if you like buzzwords. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Syntax | |
| 15 ------ | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To Fetch data, issue a normal GET request | |
| 18 | |
| 19 GET /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store>[/<format>] HTTP/1.1 | |
| 20 Authorization: <base64(authzid:password)> | |
| 21 | |
| 22 OR | |
| 23 | |
| 24 PUT|POST /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store> HTTP/1.1 | |
| 25 Content-Type: text/x-lua | application/json | |
| 26 | |
| 27 <data> | |
| 28 | |
| 29 These map to `datamanager.method(user, host, store, data)`, where choice | |
| 30 of `method` and its parameters are explained below. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ### Verbs | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Verb Meaning datamanager method | |
| 35 -------- ------------------------------- --------------------------- | |
| 36 `GET` Just fetch data `load()` or `list_load()` | |
| 37 `PUT` Replace all data in the store `store()` | |
| 38 `POST` Append item to the store `list_append()` | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Note: In a `GET` request, if `load()` returns `nil`, `list_load()` will | |
| 41 be tried instead. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 ### Fields | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Field Description Default | |
| 46 ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 47 `host` Which virtual host to access Required. If not set in the path, the domain-part of the authzid is used. | |
| 48 `user` Which users storage to access Required. If not set in the path, uses the node part of the authzid. | |
| 49 `store` Which storage to access. Required. | |
| 50 `format` Which format to serialize to. `json` and `lua` are supported. When uploading data, the `Content-Type` header is used. `json` | |

| 65 | |
