mod_measure_modules: Report module statuses via OpenMetrics
Someone in the chat asked about a health check endpoint, which reminded
me of mod_http_status, which provides access to module statuses with
full details. After that, this idea came about, which seems natural.
As noted in the README, it could be used to monitor that critical
modules are in fact loaded correctly.
As more modules use the status API, the more useful this module and
mod_http_status becomes.

| 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` | |
| 51 `data` The actual data to upload in a `PUT` or `POST` request. `nil` | |
| 52 | |
| 53 Note: Only admins can change data for users other than themselves. | |

| 62 {"password":"secr1t"} | |
| 63 | |
| 64 Set someones account details: | |
| 65 | |
| 66 curl -X PUT http://prosody.local:5280/data/example.com/user/accounts -u admin@host:r00tp4ssw0rd --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"password":"changeme"}' | |
