mod_firewall: Apply pre-reload state before re-reading config This change makes load/reload a bit more robust. module.load() runs before module.restore() and it reads from the config and updates the state (if needed). However, after this, module.restore() could run and apply the old state again.

summary: Automatically reload modules with the config
...

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

By default Prosody does not reload modules at runtime unless instructed
to via one of its admin interfaces. However sometimes you want to easily
reload a module to apply new settings when the config changes.

mod\_reload\_modules will reload a set list of modules every time
Prosody reloads its config (e.g. on SIGHUP).

Configuration
-------------

Add "reload\_modules" to modules\_enabled. Then the list of modules to
reload using the 'reload\_modules' option in your config like so:

    reload_modules = { "groups", "tls" }

This would reload mod\_groups and mod\_tls whenever the config is
reloaded. Note that on many systems this will be at least daily, due to
logrotate.

Compatibility
