mod_s2s_keepalive: Use timestamp as iq @id RFC 6120 implies that the id attribute must be unique within a stream. This should fix problems with remote servers that enforce uniqueness and don't answer duplicated ids. If it doesn't do that, then at least you can get a guesstimate at round-trip time from the difference between the result iq stanza and the timestamp it was logged without having to go look for when it was sent, or needing to keep state.

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
