mod_http_oauth2: Implement stateless dynamic client registration Replaces previous explicit registration that required either the additional module mod_adhoc_oauth2_client or manually editing the database. That method was enough to have something to test with, but would not probably not scale easily. Dynamic client registration allows creating clients on the fly, which may be even easier in theory. In order to not allow basically unauthenticated writes to the database, we implement a stateless model here. per_host_key := HMAC(config -> oauth2_registration_key, hostname) client_id := JWT { client metadata } signed with per_host_key client_secret := HMAC(per_host_key, client_id) This should ensure everything we need to know is part of the client_id, allowing redirects etc to be validated, and the client_secret can be validated with only the client_id and the per_host_key. A nonce injected into the client_id JWT should ensure nobody can submit the same client metadata and retrieve the same client_secret

summary: Publish Github commits over pubsub
---

## Introduction

This module accepts Github web hooks and publishes them to a local
pubsub component for XMPP clients to subscribe to.

Entries are pushed as Atom payloads.

It may also work with Gitlab.

## Configuration

Load the module on a pubsub component:

``` {.lua}
Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"
    modules_enabled = { "pubsub_github" }
    github_secret = "NP7bZooYSLKze96TQMpFW5ov"
```

The URL for Github to post to would be either:

-   `http://pubsub.example.com:5280/pubsub_github`
-   `https://pubsub.example.com:5281/pubsub_github`

The module also takes the following config options:

  Name                    Default             Description
  ----------------------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
  `github_node`           `"github"`{.lua}    The pubsub node to publish commits on.
  `github_secret`         **Required**        Shared secret used to sign HTTP requests.
  `github_node_prefix`    `"github/"`{.lua}
  `github_node_mapping`   *not set*           Field in repository object to use as node instead of `github_node`
  `github_actor`          *superuser*         Which actor to do the publish as (used for access control)

More advanced example

``` {.lua}
Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"
    modules_enabled = { "pubsub_github" }
    github_actor = "github.com"
    github_node_mapping = "name" --> github_node_prefix .. "repo"
    -- github_node_mapping = "full_name" --> github_node_prefix .. "owner/repo"
    github_secret = "sekr1t"
```

If your HTTP host doesn't match the pubsub component's address, you will
need to inform Prosody. For more info see Prosody's [HTTP server
documentation](https://prosody.im/doc/http#virtual_hosts).
