mod_vcard_muc: Pass room object around instead of JID, hopefully fixing traceback More efficient to pass the object around instead of using the JID and looking up the object when needed. It seems in some (undetermined) cases get_room_from_jid(room.jid) is nil.

summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol
...

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

To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured
URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server
until answered.

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

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "custom_http"
auth_custom_http = {
  post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth";
}
```

Protocol
========

The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password`
members:

    {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"}

The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the
username and password are correct.
