mod_bookmarks2: Fix handling of nick and password elements
This form of child retrieval fails when the stanza elements internally
don't have an 'xmlns' attribute, which can happen sometimes for some
reason, including when they have been constructed via the stanza builder
API. When that is the case then the explicit namespace arguemnt does not
match the nil value of the internal attribute. Calling `:get_child()`
without the namespace argument does the right thing here, with both nil
and the parent namespace as valid values for the internal attribute.

--- summary: Module for improving the life of bot authors --- This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room. All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the rest. # Configuration Example configuration in Prosody: ```lua Component "muc.example.com" "muc" modules_enabled = { "muc_bot", } known_bots = { "bot@example.com" } bots_get_messages = false ignore_bot_errors = true ``` # Sending messages Simply send a stanza like this from your bot: ```xml <message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com"> <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body> <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick> </message> ``` ## Use with mod_rest Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well! ```bash curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \ -d body="beep boop" \ -d nick="Botty" ``` # Compatibility Prosody **trunk** required.
