mod_http_oauth2: Return Authentication Time per OpenID Core Section 2 Mandatory To Implement, either MUST include or OPTIONAL depending on things we don't look at, so might as well include it all the time. Since we do not persist authentication state with cookies or such, the authentication time will always be some point between the user being sent to the authorization endpoint and the time they are sent back to the client application.

summary: Send XMPP stanzas via REST/HTTP
...

This module provides a [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)ful
method for sending XMPP stanzas.

This enables you to send stanzas by making HTTP requests to `http://${prosody-url}/rest`.

**DANGER/ACHTUNG!: This module does NOT enforce any authentication or user-checking.
This means that by default stanzas can be sent *anyone* on behalf of *any* user.**

You should enable [mod_http_authentication](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_http_authentication.html),
to require authentication for calls made to this module, or alternatively, you
could use a reverse proxy like Nginx.

# To enable this module

Add `"http_rest"` to `modules_enabled`, either globally or for a particular virtual
host.

# How to test:

You can use curl to make the HTTP request to Prosody, to test whether this
module is working properly:

    curl -k http://localhost:5280/rest -u username:password -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<iq to="pubsub.localhost" type="set" id="4dd1a1e3-ef91-4017-a5aa-eaba0a82eb94-1" from="user@localhost"><pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"><publish node="Test mod_rest.lua"><item>Hello World!</item></publish></pubsub></iq>'
