mod_http_admin_api: Ensure freshness of metrics when in manual mode When in manual collection mode, as recommended for Prometheus, collection needs to be triggered manually, or they would be stale, possibly dating from the start of the server. This might vary per metric depending on how and when the metrics are gathered.

# mod_ogp

This module adds [Open Graph Protocol](https://ogp.me) metadata to URLs sent inside a MUC.

With mod_ogp enabled, when a user sends a URL in a MUC (where the message has its `id` equal to its `origin-id`), the module calls the URL and parses the result for `<meta>` html tags that have any `og:...` properties.
If it finds any, it sends a [XEP-0422 fastening](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0422.html) applied to the original message that looks like:

```xml
<message id="example" from="chatroom@muc.example.org" to="user@chat.example.org/resource">
<apply-to xmlns="urn:xmpp:fasten:0" id="origin-id-X">
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:title" content="The Rock"/>
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:url" content="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/"/>
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" property="og:image" content="https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg"/>
</apply-to>
</message>
```

The module is intentionally simple in the sense that it is basically a transport for https://ogp.me/

Configuration
-------------

You can present an allowlist or denylist of domains for which OGP metadata will be fetched
via the `ogp_domain_allowlist` and `ogp_domain_denylist` settings repectively.

For example:

```lua
Component "muc.example.org" "muc"
  modules_enabled = { "ogp" }
  ogp_domain_allowlist = { "prosody.im" }
```
