mod_net_proxy: Use safer util.format for generating description string (thanks tom) It appears that server_event may emit port numbers (src_port() in this case) as strings, rather than integers. This causes string.format() to throw an error. Prosody's util.format is a more forgiving formatter and won't throw an error. The server_event behaviour may be best fixed for the sake of consistency, though.

Introduction
============

This module acts as a normal storage module for Prosody, but saves all
data in memory only. All data is lost when the server stops. This makes
it useful for testing, or certain specialized applications.

Details
=======

Because the accounts store will always begin empty, it is mostly useful
combined with an authentication plugin which doesn't use Prosody's
storage API, or with [mod\_auth\_any](mod_auth_any.html), or you can
create user accounts manually each time the server starts.

Compatibility
=============

  ----- -------
  0.9   Works
