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: Send XMPP stanzas via REST/HTTP
...

This module provides a [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer)ful
method for sending XMPP stanzas.

This enables you to send stanzas by making HTTP requests to `http://${prosody-url}/rest`.

**DANGER/ACHTUNG!: This module does NOT enforce any authentication or user-checking.
This means that by default stanzas can be sent *anyone* on behalf of *any* user.**

You should enable [mod_http_authentication](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_http_authentication.html),
to require authentication for calls made to this module, or alternatively, you
could use a reverse proxy like Nginx.

# To enable this module

Add `"http_rest"` to `modules_enabled`, either globally or for a particular virtual
host.

# How to test:

You can use curl to make the HTTP request to Prosody, to test whether this
module is working properly:

    curl -k http://localhost:5280/rest -u username:password -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<iq to="pubsub.localhost" type="set" id="4dd1a1e3-ef91-4017-a5aa-eaba0a82eb94-1" from="user@localhost"><pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"><publish node="Test mod_rest.lua"><item>Hello World!</item></publish></pubsub></iq>'
