mod_http_xep227: Initialize XEP-0227 XML mod_storage_xep0227 only writes if there is XML already for a user (it uses the presence of an existing <user> element as an indicator that an account exists, although technically this is not something Prosody itself does, so it's a little weird).

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
