mod_http_oauth2: Fix use of arbitrary ports in loopback redirect URIs
Per draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-08#section-8.4.2
> The authorization server MUST allow any port to be specified at the
> time of the request for loopback IP redirect URIs, to accommodate
> clients that obtain an available ephemeral port from the operating
> system at the time of the request.
Uncertain if it should normalize the host part, but it also seems
harmless to treat IPv6 and IPv4 the same here.
One thing is that "localhost" is NOT RECOMMENDED because it can
sometimes be pointed to non-loopback interfaces via DNS or hosts file.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: 'HTTP-based account data import/export using XEP-0227' ... Introduction ============ This module allows a user to import or export account data using a simple HTTP API. The data is expected to be in the format described by [XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0227.html). Note that this module does not provide any UI for direct interaction from users - it is expected that any UI will be provided elsewhere. For example, this module is used by the [Snikket web portal](https://github.com/snikket-im/snikket-web-portal/). For Developers ========== TBD. Compatibility ============= Requires Prosody trunk (270047afa6af).
