mod_http_oauth2: Add TODO about disabling password grant Per recommendation in draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics-23 it should at the very least be disabled by default. However since this is used by the Snikket web portal some care needs to be taken not to break this, unless it's already broken by other changes to this module.

Introduction
============

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody trunk
