mod_rest: Support parameters in callback URL E.g. rest_callback_url = "http://myapi.example:5000/api/{kind}/{type}" which results in e.g. requests to /api/message/chat Allows using path routing in web frameworks for dispatch instead of having to pick apart the payload to further dispatch it.

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

This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

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

Requires Prosody trunk
