various: Use 0.12+ API for serving files from the file system over HTTP Using mod_http_files this way is deprecated. Having the base behavior in a separate module makes it easier to have a specialized module with coherent behavior that does not do things when not explicitly enabled.

summary: 'Require MUC occupant nicknames to match a specific pattern'

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

This checks the nickname of a joining user against a configurable
[Lua pattern](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#6.4.1), and prevents
them from joining if it does not match.

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

There is a single configuration option, `muc_restrict_nick_pattern` and the
default is `"^%w+$"` - i.e. allow only alphanumeric characters in nicknames.

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

Requires Prosody 0.11 or higher.
