mod_http_muc_log: Remove dead code
This might be something left over since a different variant where the
loop went like `for n = i-1, i-100, -1 do ... end` i.e. it went trough a
fixed number of items instead of all the page until the current message.
Then it would have needed something to stop going over the end, but
since the checks are simple it shouldn't be much of a problem looping
over even a very busy day.

--- summary: 'Receives HTTP POST request, parses it and relays it into XMPP.' --- Introduction ============ Sometimes it's useful to have different interfaces to access XMPP. This module allows sending XMPP [`<message>`](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message) stanzas via a simple HTTP API. Example usage ------------- curl http://example.com:5280/msg/user -u me@example.com:mypassword -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "Server@host has just crashed!" This would send a message to user\@example.com from me\@example.com Details ======= URL format ---------- /msg/ [recipient [@host] ]. The base URL defaults to `/msg`. This can be configured via Prosodys [HTTP path settings][doc:http]. Authentication -------------- Authentication is done by HTTP Basic. Authentication: Basic BASE64( "username@virtualhost:password" ) Payload formats --------------- Supported formats are: `text/plain` : The HTTP body is used as plain text message payload, in the `<body>` element. `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` : Allows more fields to be specified. `application/json` : Similar to form data. Which one is selected via the `Content-Type` HTTP header. ### Data fields The form data and JSON formats allow the following fields: `to` : Can be used instead of having the receiver in the URL. `type` : [Message type.](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#message-syntax-type) `body` : Plain text message payload which goes in the `<body>` element. Acknowledgements ================ Some code originally borrowed from mod\_webpresence See also ======== [mod_rest] is a more advanced way to send messages and more via HTTP, with a very similar API.
