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.

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

Sometimes you might run clients without encryption on the same machine
or LAN as Prosody - and you want Prosody to treat them as secure (e.g.
allowing plaintext authentication) even though they are not encrypted.

This module allows you to tell Prosody which of the current server's
interfaces (IP addresses) that you consider to be on secure networks.

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

Configuration is simple, just load the module like any other by adding
it to your modules\_enabled list:

        modules_enabled = {
            ...
            "secure_interfaces";
            ...
        }

Then set the list of secure interfaces (just make sure it is set in the
global section of your config file, and **not** under a VirtualHost or
Component):

        secure_interfaces = { "127.0.0.1", "::1", "192.168.1.54" }
