mod_rest: Remove manual reference expansion in schema
This hack was originally added to reduce the number of definitions of
common attributes (type, to, from etc) and payloads (e.g. delay). This
predated pointers and references, and until now was needed because
parsing picked out the correct stanza kind from the schema, which broke
internal references.
Removing this hack paves the way for allowing the schema to be
configured or customized more easily.

--- summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol ... Introduction ============ To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server until answered. Configuration ============= ``` lua VirtualHost "example.com" authentication = "custom_http" auth_custom_http = { post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth"; } ``` Protocol ======== The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` members: {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the username and password are correct.
