+# Introduction
+
+
+This module allows kicking users out of MUCs via HTTP.  
+It can be used in combination with [mod_muc_http_auth](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_muc_http_auth.html) as a complement to externalize MUC access.
+
+This module expects a JSON payload with the following keys:
+* `nickname` Mandatory. The nickname of the user to be kicked.
+* `muc` Mandatory. The JID of the muc to kick the user from.
+* `reason` Optional. A comment explaining the reason of the kick (More details https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#example-91).
+
+Example:
+```
+{
+    nickname: "Bob",
+    muc: "snuggery@chat.example.org",
+}
+```
+If the user was kicked successfuly, the module will return a 200 status code.  
+Otherwise, the according status code will be returned in the response, as well as a JSON payload providing an error message.
+```
+{
+    error: "Missing nickname and/or MUC"
+}
+```
+
+The path this module listens on is `/muc_kick`.  
+Example of a request to kick `Bob` from the `snuggery@chat.example.org` MUC using cURL:
+
+```
+curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  --request POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=" \
+  --data '{"nickname":"Bob","muc":"snuggery@chat.example.org"}' \
+  http://chat.example.org:5280/muc_kick
+```
+
+
+
+# Configuring
+
+## Enabling
+
+``` {.lua}
+Component "chat.example.org" "muc"
+
+modules_enabled = {
+    "http_muc_kick";
+}
+
+http_muc_kick_authorization_header = "Basic YWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuc2VzYW1l" -- Check the Settings section below
+
+```
+
+
+## Settings
+
+|Name |Description |Default |
+|-----|------------|--------|
+|http_muc_kick_authorization_header| Value of the Authorization header expected by every request when trying to kick a user. Example: `Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=`| nil |
+
+Even though there is no check on whether the Authorization header provided is a valid one,
+please be aware that if `http_muc_kick_authorization_header` is nil, the module will not load as a reminder that some authorization should be enforced for this module.
