mod_log_json: Prefer native Lua table.pack over Prosody util.table one
Prosody is removing support for Lua 5.1, which was the reason for
util.table.pack to exist in the first place, since Lua 5.2+ provides
table.pack. In prosody rev 5eaf77114fdb everything was switched over to
use table.pack, opening the door for removing util.table.pack at some
point. This change here is to prepare for that future eventuality.

--- labels: summary: 'HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism' ... Introduction ------------ This module gives HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism. It uses normal HTTP verbs and [Basic HTTP authentication](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), so you could call it RESTful if you like buzzwords. Syntax ------ To Fetch data, issue a normal GET request GET /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store>[/<format>] HTTP/1.1 Authorization: <base64(authzid:password)> OR PUT|POST /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store> HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/x-lua | application/json <data> These map to `datamanager.method(user, host, store, data)`, where choice of `method` and its parameters are explained below. ### Verbs Verb Meaning datamanager method -------- ------------------------------- --------------------------- `GET` Just fetch data `load()` or `list_load()` `PUT` Replace all data in the store `store()` `POST` Append item to the store `list_append()` Note: In a `GET` request, if `load()` returns `nil`, `list_load()` will be tried instead. ### Fields Field Description Default ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- `host` Which virtual host to access Required. If not set in the path, the domain-part of the authzid is used. `user` Which users storage to access Required. If not set in the path, uses the node part of the authzid. `store` Which storage to access. Required. `format` Which format to serialize to. `json` and `lua` are supported. When uploading data, the `Content-Type` header is used. `json` `data` The actual data to upload in a `PUT` or `POST` request. `nil` Note: Only admins can change data for users other than themselves. ### Example usage Here follows some example usage using `curl`. Get your account details: curl http://prosody.local:5280/data/accounts -u user@example.com:secr1t {"password":"secr1t"} Set someones account details: curl -X PUT http://prosody.local:5280/data/example.com/user/accounts -u admin@host:r00tp4ssw0rd --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"password":"changeme"}' ### Client library - https://metacpan.org/module/Prosody::Mod::Data::Access ### TODO - Use `Accept` header.
