mod_rest: Handle internal http request errors early and then return
Skips over attempted parsing of the payload which usually failed since
the body is an error string like "connection refused", so this produced
useless errors.

| 2 summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol | |
| 3 ... | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Introduction | |
| 6 ============ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured | |
| 9 URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server | |
| 10 until answered. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Configuration | |
| 13 ============= | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ``` lua | |
| 16 VirtualHost "example.com" | |
| 17 authentication = "custom_http" | |

| 23 Protocol | |
| 24 ======== | |
| 25 | |
| 26 The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` | |
| 27 members: | |
| 28 | |
| 29 {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} | |
| 30 | |
| 31 The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the | |
| 32 username and password are correct. |
