mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC) This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the default equivalent to the previous "request.id". A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity. Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless explicitly configured otherwise.

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

This module largely duplicates the functionality of the standard
mod\_announce that is included with Prosody. It was developed for
compatibility with some clients (e.g. iChat) that do not support ad-hoc
commands or sending to JIDs with the format
'example.com/announce/online'.

It may also be useful in other specific cases.

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

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"

By default, only server admins are allowed to post to this address. You
can override this, by specifying the 'broadcast\_senders' option:

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"
        broadcast_senders = { "user1@example.com", "user2@example.com" }

Compatibility
