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: 'XEP-0273: Stanza Interception and Filtering Technology'
...

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

[SIFT][XEP-0273] is a technology to allow clients to filter incoming
traffic on the server. This helps save bandwidth, etc.

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

  ----- -------
  0.7   Works

Quirks
======

This implementation is a work in progress.

-   Stanzas to full JIDs get sifted correctly
-   Stanzas to bare JIDs are currently allowed/disallowed for all
    resources as a whole, and not for individual resources
-   Presence is only sent to available resources, and probes are not
    sent for unavailable reasources
-   This module currently does not interact with offline messages
    (filtered messages are dropped with an error reply)
-   Not tested with privacy lists
