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.

| 6 ============ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 This module lets you put a per-IP limit on the number of failed | |
| 9 authentication attempts. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 It features an optioanal | |
| 12 [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. | |
| 13 waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Configuration | |
| 16 ============= | |
| 17 | |
| 18 ``` {.lua} | |
| 19 modules_enabled = { | |
| 20 -- your other modules | |
| 21 "limit_auth"; | |
| 22 } | |
| 23 | |
| 24 limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds | |
| 25 | |
| 26 limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts | |
