mod_rest: Workaround lack of number coercion in util.datamapper for HTTP upload
util.datamapper will not coerce a string into an integer like the
XEP-0363 'size' slot, which becomes a problem when using the HTTP GET
method, passing fields as ?query parameters which are always strings.

--- labels: - Stage-Alpha ... 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
