mod_rest: Use logger of HTTP request in trunk In Prosody trunk rev c975dafa4303 each HTTP request gained its own log sink, to make it easy to log things related to each request and group those messages. Especially where async is used, spreading the request and response apart as mod_rest does with iq stanzas, this grouped logging should help find related messages.

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

Often service administrators need to log their users' messages for
reasons such as auditing and compliance. This module simply logs user
messages to simple text files, which can be easily searched, archived or
removed on a regular basis.

Usage
=====

Simply load the module and it will start logging. Reloading Prosody
(e.g. with a SIGHUP) will cause it to close any open logs (and re-open
them if necessary).

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