Initial commit of mod_slack_webhooks.
This provides an HTTP-based interface to and from Prosody-hosted MUCs
equivalent to Slack's incoming and outgoing webhook interfaces, allowing
a variety of Slack integrations to be used with a Prosody MUC.

--- summary: 'Receives HTTP POST request, parses it and relays it into XMPP.' --- Introduction ============ Sometimes it's useful to have different interfaces to access XMPP. This module allows sending XMPP [`<message>`](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message) stanzas via a simple HTTP API. Example usage ------------- curl http://example.com:5280/msg/user -u me@example.com:mypassword -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "Server@host has just crashed!" This would send a message to user\@example.com from me\@example.com Details ======= URL format ---------- /msg/ [recipient [@host] ]. The base URL defaults to `/msg`. This can be configured via Prosodys [HTTP path settings][doc:http]. Authentication -------------- Authentication is done by HTTP Basic. Authentication: Basic BASE64( "username@virtualhost:password" ) Payload formats --------------- Supported formats are: `text/plain` : The HTTP body is used as plain text message payload, in the `<body>` element. `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` : Allows more fields to be specified. `application/json` : Similar to form data. Which one is selected via the `Content-Type` HTTP header. ### Data fields The form data and JSON formats allow the following fields: `to` : Can be used instead of having the receiver in the URL. `type` : [Message type.](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message-syntax-type) `body` : Plain text message payload which goes in the `<body>` element. Acknowledgements ---------------- Some code originally borrowed from mod\_webpresence
