mod_rest: Handle internal http request errors early and then return Skips over attempted parsing of the payload which usually failed since the body is an error string like "connection refused", so this produced useless errors.

# Introduction

This module provides a streaming interface to [Prosodys internal statistics][doc:statistics] via
[Server-sent events](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events).

## Example

```js
var evtSource = new EventSource("/stats_stream");

/*
 * An event with all current statistics in the form of a JSON object.
 * Normally sent only once, when first connected to the stream.
 */
evtSource.addEventListener("stats-full", function(e) {
	var initial_stats = JSON.parse(e.data);
	console.log(initial_stats);
}, false);

/*
 * An event containing only statistics that have changed since the last
 * 'stats-full' or 'stats-updated' event.
 */
evtSource.addEventListener("stats-updated", function(e) {
	var updated_stats = JSON.parse(e.data);
	console.log(updated_stats);
}, false);
```
