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

This is an authentication module that does an asynchronous
HTTP call to verify username and password.

Details
=======

When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the
username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic
authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`.

Configuration
=============

After installing, enable the module by setting `authentication` to `"http_async"`.

The only setting is `http_auth_url` which should contain the URL endpoint where the authentication query is sent to. It can contain `$host` and
`$user` which are substituted for the current VirtualHost and the authenticating username, respectively.

``` lua
VirtualHost "example.com"
authentication = "http_async"
http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth"
```

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

Should work with Prosody 0.10.x and later.
