Updating dox for mod_rest. Ideas expressed / clarified: 1) Making clear that mod_rest isn't to be installed under VirtualHosts AND as a component. 2) Understanding some of the implications of this choice: A) Changes to user authentication B) How it affects subdomains 3) More consistent use of domain names for clarity. 4) Using different heading sizes to show scope of section. Essentially, I added all the tidbits I had to clarify in getting this to work in my own example.

summary: MongoDB Storage Module
...

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

This is a storage backend that uses MongoDB. Depends on [luamongo
bindings](https://github.com/mwild1/luamongo)

This module is not under active development and has a number of issues
related to limitations in MongoDB. It is not suitable for production
use.

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

Copy the module to the prosody modules/plugins directory.

In Prosody's configuration file, set:

    storage = "mongodb"

MongoDB options are:

  Name         Description
  ------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------
  server       hostname:port
  username     your username for the given database
  password     your password for the given database (either raw or pre-digested)
  is\_digest   whether the password field has been pre-digested

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

  ------- ---------------------------
  trunk   Untested, but should work
