Autocompletion list of usernames almost empty

On alpha.happy-dev.fr, the autocompletion list of usernames is almost empty. My understanding is that this is a problem on Prosody's side, @MattJ can surely help.

@MattJ : That's the most urgent issue in your scope. I noted that I still owe you a complete list of the priorities, it is on its way.

Hotfixed:

@MattJ On Prosody side, when a request fail, Prosody no longer do any other request. I had to reload every conference.xyz muc module. Is it expected?

On djangoldp-circle side, I added an exception for Prosody's IP, the request failed because Prosody isn't logged and have no permission on any circle object.

@jbpasquier : You rock.

Can you see with @calummackervoy and @sylvain this IP exception workaround? Keep in mind that we will migrate the server in the coming weeks.

I guess a long term run may be that Prosody have to be identified.

As long as we're getting all instances on the same prosody, it's "ok".

@balessan Ping you here too

This sounds like https://git.happy-dev.fr/startinblox/applications/sib-app/issues/256

Basically the code was refactored (not by me) to use a single thread. Whenever there is a bug or connectivity problem, it breaks the thread and everything stops working.

The code needs to be written with a more robust design. I didn't do this yet because in theory if everything works then a single thread would be ok (kinda). But any problems cause it to break, so it's quite fragile. I think this is the third problem we've had with it now.

@alexandre consider this and rank #256 (closed) in the list of priorities accordingly.
