Implement dummy body message to indicate high priority push This adds a dummy body sent alongside the push when the original message also contained a body to indicate a high priority push. The body can be configured and its contents are generally meaningless with most app servers because it will be stripped before pushed to the client.

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
