1 # Introduction |
|

|
|
3 Lets you easily publish data to PubSub using a HTTP POST request. The |
|
|
4 payload can be Atom feeds, arbitrary XML, or arbitrary JSON. The type |
|
|
5 should be indicated via the `Content-Type` header. |
|
|
6 |
|
|
7 ``` {.bash} |
|
|
8 curl http://localhost:5280/pubsub_post/princely_musings \ |
|
|
9 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
|
|
10 --data-binary '{"musing":"To be, or not to be: that is the question"}' |
|
|
11 ``` |
|
|
12 |
|
|
13 # Configuration |
|
|
14 |
|
|
15 ## Authentication |
|
|
16 |
|
|
17 Authentication can be handled in two different ways. |
|
|
18 |
|
|
19 ### None |
|
|
20 |
|
|
21 ``` {.lua} |
|
|
22 pubsub_post_actor = "superuser" |
|
|
23 ``` |
|
|
24 |
|
|
25 The module uses an internal actor that has all privileges and can always |
|
|
26 do everything. It is strongly suggested that you do not expose this to |
|
|
27 the Internet. *Maybe* it shouldn't be the default... |
|
|
28 |
|
|
29 ### IP |
|
|
30 |
|
|
31 ``` {.lua} |
|
|
32 pubsub_post_actor = "request.ip" |
|
|
33 ``` |
|
|
34 |
|
|
35 Uses the IP address from the HTTP request as actor, which means this |
|
|
36 pseudo-JID must be given a 'publisher' affiliation. This should work |
|
|
37 nicely with the `autocreate_on_publish` setting, where the first actor |
|
|
38 to attempt to publish to a non-existant node becomes owner of it, which |
|
|
39 includes publishing rights. |
|
|
40 |
|
|
41 Prosodys PubSub module does not currently support [setting affiliations |
|
|
42 via XMPP](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#owner-affiliations), |
|
|
43 but this is planned. |
|
|
44 |
|
|
45 It can however be done from another plugin: |
|
|
46 |
|
|
47 ``` {.lua} |
|
|
48 local mod_pubsub = module:depends("pubsub"); |
|
|
49 local pubsub = mod_pubsub.service; |
|
|
50 |
|
|
51 pubsub:create("princely_musings", true); |
|
|
52 pubsub:set_affiliation("princely_musings", true, "127.0.0.1", "publisher"); |
|
|
53 ``` |
