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.

--- summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120 ... This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to` attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]: > ## 4.7.2. to > > For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and > server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the > 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the > initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service. As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285), Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that don't follow this. # Known servers affected * Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
