mod_log_ringbuffer: Detach event handlers on logging reload (thanks Menel)
Otherwise the global event handlers accumulate, one added each time
logging is reoladed, and each invocation of the signal or event triggers
one dump of each created ringbuffer.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' summary: 'Authenticated HTTP API to create invites' ... Introduction ============ This module is part of the suite of modules that implement invite-based account registration for Prosody. The other modules are: - [mod_invites] - [mod_invites_adhoc] - [mod_invites_page] - [mod_invites_register] - [mod_invites_register_web] - [mod_register_apps] For details and a full overview, start with the [mod_invites] documentation. Details ======= mod_invites_api provides an authenticated HTTP API to create invites using mod_invites. You can use the command-line to create and manage API keys. Configuration ============= There are no specific configuration options for this module. All the usual [HTTP configuration options](https://prosody.im/doc/http) can be used to configure this module. API usage ========= Step 1: Create an API key, with an optional name to help you remember what it is for ``` $ prosodyctl mod_invites_api create example.com "My test key" ``` **Tip:** Remember to put quotes around your key name if it contains spaces. The command will print out a key: ``` HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Step 2: Make a HTTP request to Prosody, containing the key ``` $ curl -v https://example.com:5281/invites_api?key=HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Prosody will respond with a HTTP status code "201 Created" to indicate creation of the invite, and per HTTP's usual rules, the URL of the created invite page will be in the `Location` header: ``` < HTTP/1.1 201 Created < Access-Control-Max-Age: 7200 < Connection: Keep-Alive < Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * < Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2020 09:50:19 GMT < Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type < Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, GET < Content-Length: 0 < Location: https://example.com/invite?c-vhJjyB5Pb4HpAf ``` Sometimes for convenience, you may want to just visit the URL in the browser. Append `&redirect=true` to the URL, and instead Prosody will return a `303 See Other` response code, which will tell the browser to redirect straight to the newly-created invite. This is super handy in a bookmark :) If using the API programmatically, it is recommended to put the key in the `Authorization` header if possible. This is quite simple: ``` Authorization: Bearer HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Key management ============== At any time you can view authorized keys using: ``` prosodyctl mod_invites_api list example.com ``` This will list out the id of each key, and the name if set: ``` HTwALnKL My test key ``` You can revoke a key by passing this key id to the 'delete` sub-command: ``` prosodyctl mod_invites_api delete example.com HTwALnKL ```
