mod_http_oauth2: Allow 'login_hint' as a substitute for OIDC 'select_account' prompt If the OIDC 'prompt' parameter does not contain the 'select_account' then it wants us to skip account selection, which means we have to figure which account to authenticate somehow. One way could be have this stored in a cookie from a previous successful login. Another way would be to have the account passed as a hint, which is what we add here.

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
