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-based account data import/export using XEP-0227'
...

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

This module allows a user to import or export account data using a simple
HTTP API. The data is expected to be in the format described by [XEP-0227:
Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0227.html).

Note that this module does not provide any UI for direct interaction from
users - it is expected that any UI will be provided elsewhere. For example,
this module is used by the [Snikket web portal](https://github.com/snikket-im/snikket-web-portal/).

For Developers
==========

TBD.

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

Requires Prosody trunk (270047afa6af).
