mod_http_oauth2: Rescope oauth client config into users' storage
This produces client_id of the form owner@host/random and prevents
clients from being deleted by registering an account with the same name
and then deleting the account, as well as having the client
automatically be deleted when the owner account is removed.
On one hand, this leaks the bare JID of the creator to users. On the
other hand, it makes it obvious who made the oauth application.
This module is experimental and only for developers, so this can be
changed if a better method comes up.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' summary: 'TCP-over-XMPP :)' ... Introduction ============ It happens occasionally that I would like to use the XMPP server as a generic proxy for connecting to another service. It is especially awkward in some environments, and impossible in (for example) Javascript inside a web browser. Details ======= Using mod\_tcpproxy an XMPP client (including those using BOSH) can initiate a pipe to a given TCP/IP address and port. This implementation uses the [In-Band Bytestreams](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0047.html) XEP, simply extended with 2 new attributes in a new namespace, host and port. An example Javascript client can be found in the web/ directory of mod\_tcpproxy in the repository. Configuration ============= Just add tcpproxy as a component, for example: `Component "tcp.example.com" "tcpproxy"` Protocol ======== A new stream is opened like this: ``` {.xml} <iq type="set" id="newconn1" to="tcp.example.com"> <open xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/ibb' sid='connection1' stanza='message' xmlns:tcp='http://prosody.im/protocol/tcpproxy' tcp:host='example.com' tcp:port='80' /> </iq> ``` The stanza attribute (currently) MUST be 'message', and a block-size, if given, is (currently) ignored. In response to this stanza you will receive a result upon connection success, or an error if the connection failed. You can then send to the connection by sending message stanzas as described in the IBB XEP. Incoming data will likewise be delivered as messages. Compatibility ============= ----- -------------- 0.7 Works 0.6 Doesn't work ----- -------------- Todo ==== - ACLs (restrict to certain JIDs, and/or certain target hosts/ports) - Honour block-size (undecided) - Support iq stanzas for data transmission - Signal to start SSL/TLS on a connection
