mod_http_oauth2: Skip consent screen if requested by client and same scopes already granted This follows the intent behind the OpenID Connect 'prompt' parameter when it does not include the 'consent' keyword, that is the client wishes to skip the consent screen. If the user has already granted the exact same scopes to the exact same client in the past, then one can assume that they may grant it again.

# Introduction


This module allows kicking users out of MUCs via HTTP.  
It can be used in combination with [mod_muc_http_auth](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_muc_http_auth.html) as a complement to externalize MUC access.

This module expects a JSON payload with the following keys:
* `nickname` Mandatory. The nickname of the user to be kicked.
* `muc` Mandatory. The JID of the muc to kick the user from.
* `reason` Optional. A comment explaining the reason of the kick (More details https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#example-91).

Example:
```
{
    nickname: "Bob",
    muc: "snuggery@chat.example.org",
}
```
If the user was kicked successfuly, the module will return a 200 status code.  
Otherwise, the according status code will be returned in the response, as well as a JSON payload providing an error message.
```
{
    error: "Missing nickname and/or MUC"
}
```

The path this module listens on is `/muc_kick`.  
Example of a request to kick `Bob` from the `snuggery@chat.example.org` MUC using cURL:

```
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  -H "Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=" \
  --data '{"nickname":"Bob","muc":"snuggery@chat.example.org"}' \
  http://chat.example.org:5280/muc_kick
```



# Configuring

## Enabling

``` {.lua}
Component "chat.example.org" "muc"

modules_enabled = {
    "http_muc_kick";
}

http_muc_kick_authorization_header = "Basic YWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuc2VzYW1l" -- Check the Settings section below

```


## Settings

|Name |Description |Default |
|-----|------------|--------|
|http_muc_kick_authorization_header| Value of the Authorization header expected by every request when trying to kick a user. Example: `Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=`| nil |

Even though there is no check on whether the Authorization header provided is a valid one,
please be aware that if `http_muc_kick_authorization_header` is nil, the module will not load as a reminder that some authorization should be enforced for this module.
