mod_smacks: Ignore user when writing or reading session_cache on prosody 0.9 At least under some circumstances it seems that session.username is nil when a user tries to resume his session in prosody 0.9. The username is not relevant when no limiting is done (limiting the number of entries in the session cache is only possible in prosody 0.10), so this commit removes the usage of the username when accessing the prosody 0.9 session cache.

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

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

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

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody trunk
