Purpose:

Forward several types of messages as post requests to an arbitrary url.

mod_offline_post forwards messages that are sent to offline users through a post request to a configurable url mod_available_post sends a post request with information about a user that has become available mod_unavailable_post sends a post request with information about a user that has gone offline

Installing:

• Run the build.sh script to build *.beam files
• Copy the *.beam files from the ebin directory to the location where the other modules are for your server
• Add the configuration shown below to your ejabberd.cfg file, providing the correct values for auth_token, and post_url

Example Configuration:

 {mod_offline_post, [
    {auth_token, "your-secret-token-here"},
    {post_url, "http://localhost:3000/your/custom/url"}
 ]}
 {mod_available_post, [
    {auth_token, "your-secret-token-here"},
    {post_url, "http://localhost:3000/your/custom/url"}
 ]}
 {mod_unavailable_post, [
    {auth_token, "your-secret-token-here"},
    {post_url, "http://localhost:3000/your/custom/url"}
 ]}

Results:

The application running at the post_url will receive a post http request with the following form parameters.

mod_offline_post
"to"=>"adam2@localhost"
"from"=>"adam1"
"body"=>"Does it still work?"
"access_token"=>"your-secret-token-here"

mod_available_post
"jabber_id"=>"adam2"
"access_token"=>"your-secret-token-here"

mod_unavailable_post
"jabber_id"=>"adam2"
"access_token"=>"your-secret-token-here"
