mod_http_oauth2: Make allowed locales configurable Explicit > Implicit Instead of allowing anything after #, allow only the explicitly configured locales to be used. Default to empty list because using these is not supported yet. This potentially limits the size of the client_id, which is already quite large. Nothing prevents clients from registering a whole client_id per locale, which would not require translation support on this side.

This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after
each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration
setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes).

``` lua
log_memory_threshold = 20*1024
```

If you are looking to identify memory leaks, please first read [Three
kinds of memory
leaks](https://blog.nelhage.com/post/three-kinds-of-leaks/).

Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage
collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be
useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but
temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds
of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to
look for memory leaks.
