mod_http_oauth2: Limit revocation to clients own tokens in strict mode RFC 7009 section 2.1 states: > The authorization server first validates the client credentials (in > case of a confidential client) and then verifies whether the token was > issued to the client making the revocation request. If this > validation fails, the request is refused and the client is informed of > the error by the authorization server as described below. The first part was already covered (in strict mode). This adds the later part using the hash of client_id recorded in 0860497152af It still seems weird to me that revoking a leaked token should not be allowed whoever might have discovered it, as that seems the responsible thing to do.

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.
