various: Improve error reporting if missing file server module on 0.12 If there is some error loading net.http.files then it would be swallowed by the pcall and then it would proceed to trying mod_http_files, which might cause unexpected behavior on 0.12 Ref #1765

summary: A CouchDB backend for Prosody
...

***Note:** This module needs updating to the 0.8 storage module API.*

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

This is an experimental Prosody backend for CouchDB.

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

In your config file, under the relevant host, add:

    datastore = "couchdb";
    couchdb_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5984/database-name";

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

This module was developed as a prototype during development of the
storage provider API in Prosody 0.8. The final storage provider API is
different, so this module needs updates to work.

Quirks
======

This implementation is a work in progress.

-   The data stored in couchdb is limited to: account data, rosters,
    private XML and vCards
