mod_http_oauth2: Shorten default token validity periods With refresh tokens, short lifetime for access tokens is not a problem. The arbitrary choice of one hour seems reasonable. RFC 6749 has it as example value. One week for refresh tokens matching the default archive retention period. This means that a client that remains unused for one week will have to sign in again. An actively used client will continually push that forward with each used refresh token.

This module compares the memory usage reported by Lua before and after
each event and reports it to the log if it exceeds the configuration
setting `log_memory_threshold` (in bytes).

``` lua
log_memory_threshold = 20*1024
```

If you are looking to identify memory leaks, please first read [Three
kinds of memory
leaks](https://blog.nelhage.com/post/three-kinds-of-leaks/).

Prosody runs on Lua which uses automatic memory management with garbage
collection, so the numbers reported by this module are very likely to be
useless for the purpose of identifying memory leaks. Large, but
temporary, increases in memory usage can however highlight other kinds
of performance problems and sometimes even provide hits for where to
look for memory leaks.
