mod_proxy65: Consistently apply authorization checks The module checked for authorization when a client asked for the address:port of the proxy service. It did not check for authorization when processing a request to activate a bytestream. This meant that any unauthenticated party able to guess the IP/port and XMPP domain of a proxy65 service (generally low difficulty) would be able to use the proxy to relay traffic between two connections. This factors out the permission check, and applies it to every request type.
