mod_c2s_conn_throttle: Reduce log level from error->info Our general policy is that "error" should never be triggerable by remote entities, and that it is always about something that requires admin intervention. This satisfies neither condition. The "warn" level can be used for unexpected events/behaviour triggered by remote entities, and this could qualify. However I don't think failed auth attempts are unexpected enough. I selected "info" because it is what is also used for other notable session lifecycle events.

summary: HTTP module returning info about requests for debugging
---

This module returns some info about HTTP requests as Prosody sees them
from an endpoint like `http://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug`.  This can be
used to validate [reverse-proxy configuration][doc:http] and similar use
cases.

# Example

```
$ curl -sSf  https://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug | json_pp
{
   "body" : "",
   "headers" : {
      "accept" : "*/*",
      "host" : "xmpp.example.net:5281",
      "user_agent" : "curl/7.74.0"
   },
   "httpversion" : "1.1",
   "id" : "jmFROQKoduU3",
   "ip" : "127.0.0.1",
   "method" : "GET",
   "path" : "/debug",
   "secure" : true,
   "url" : {
      "path" : "/debug"
   }
}
```

# Configuration

HTTP Methods handled can be configured via the `http_debug_methods`
setting. By default, the most common methods are already enabled.

```lua
http_debug_methods = { "GET"; "HEAD"; "DELETE"; "OPTIONS"; "PATCH"; "POST"; "PUT" };
```
