mod_http_oauth2: Tweak method of centering the UI The percentage here was relative to the viewport width, which on some very wide screens may put the UI slightly outside of the view, requiring scrolling to see. By using a unit relative to the height of the viewport, this is avoided and should work better. But no guarantees, it's still possible to resize the browser or adjust font sizes so that the UI goes out of view.

This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after
each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration
setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes).

``` lua
log_memory_threshold = 20*1024
```

If you are looking to identify memory leaks, please first read [Three
kinds of memory
leaks](https://blog.nelhage.com/post/three-kinds-of-leaks/).

Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage
collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be
useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but
temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds
of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to
look for memory leaks.
