mod_pubsub_serverinfo: Include hostname in default pubsub node name This change ensures that every host publishes to a unique node by default, which is important when publishing info about multiple hosts. The old default node name was "serverinfo" The new default node name is in the format "serverinfo/example.com" where example.com is automatically replaced by the publishing host's name. This affects existing deployments in the following ways: - If you already configured pubsub_serverinfo_node explicitly in your config, then nothing will change, your current configuration will still be used. - If you did not specify it in your config (i.e. used the default) then the module will switch to publishing to the new node. If your configuration is correct this shouldn't be noticed, because the new node will automatically be created and configured by the module. If you want, you can clean up the old 'serverinfo' node using: prosodyctl shell pubsub delete_node pubsub.example.com serverinfo

summary: 'Test account credentials using HTTP'
...

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

This module lets you test whether a set of credentials are valid,
using Prosody's configured authentication mechanism.

This is useful as an easy way to allow other (e.g. non-XMPP) applications
to authenticate users using their XMPP credentials.

Syntax
------

To test credentials, issue a simple GET request with HTTP basic auth:

    GET /auth_check HTTP/1.1
    Authorization: Basic <base64(jid:password)>

Prosody will return a 2xx code on success (user exists and credentials are
correct), or 401 if the credentials are invalid. Any other code may be returned
if there is a problem handling the request.

### Example usage

Here follows some example usage using `curl`.

    curl http://prosody.local:5280/auth_check -u user@example.com:secr1t
