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: A CouchDB backend for Prosody
...

***Note:** This module needs updating to the 0.8 storage module API.*

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

This is an experimental Prosody backend for CouchDB.

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

In your config file, under the relevant host, add:

    datastore = "couchdb";
    couchdb_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5984/database-name";

Compatibility
=============

This module was developed as a prototype during development of the
storage provider API in Prosody 0.8. The final storage provider API is
different, so this module needs updates to work.

Quirks
======

This implementation is a work in progress.

-   The data stored in couchdb is limited to: account data, rosters,
    private XML and vCards
