mod_sasl2_fast: Fix harmless off-by-one error (invalidates existing tokens!)
Problem:
This was causing the key to become "<token>--cur" instead of the expected
"<token>-cur". As the same key was used by the code to both set and get, it
still worked.
Rationale for change:
Although it worked, it's unintended, inconsistent and messy. It increases the
chances of future bugs due to the unexpected format.
Side-effects of change:
Existing '--cur' entries will not be checked after this change, and therefore
existing FAST clients will fail to authenticate until they attempt password
auth and obtain a new FAST token.
Existing '--cur' entries in storage will not be cleaned up by this commit, but
this is considered a minor issue, and okay for the relatively few FAST
deployments.

--- summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol ... Introduction ============ To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server until answered. Configuration ============= ``` lua VirtualHost "example.com" authentication = "custom_http" auth_custom_http = { post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth"; } ``` Protocol ======== The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` members: {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the username and password are correct.
