mod_http_oauth2: Implement the Implicit flow Everyone says this is insecure and bad, but it's also the only thing that makes sense for e.g. pure JavaScript clients, but hey implement this even more complicated thing instead!

Introduction
------------

There are various reasons to prefer web registration instead of
"in-band" account registration over XMPP. For example the lack of
CAPTCHA support in clients and servers.

Details
-------

mod\_register\_web has Prosody serve a web page where users can sign up
for an account. It implements reCAPTCHA to prevent automated sign-ups
(from bots, etc.).

Configuration
-------------

The module is served on Prosody's default HTTP ports at the path
`/register_web`. More details on configuring HTTP modules in Prosody can
be found in our [HTTP documentation](http://prosody.im/doc/http).

To configure the CAPTCHA you need to supply a 'captcha\_options' option:

        captcha_options = {
          recaptcha_private_key = "12345";
          recaptcha_public_key = "78901";
        }

The keys for reCAPTCHA are available in your reCAPTCHA account, visit
[reCAPTCHA](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/) for more info.

If no reCaptcha options are set, a simple built in captcha is used.

Customization
-------------

Copy the files in mod_register_web/templates/ to a new directory. Edit them,
and set `register_web_template = "/path/to/your/custom-templates"` in your
config file.
