must a IQ ID be unique within a session?

i dont remember reading this anywhere

but would be weird if a client would have to expect reoccurring iq ids

https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6120.html#stanzas-attributes-id

lovetox, It is up to the originating entity whether the value of the 'id' attribute is unique only within its current stream or unique globally.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6120#section-8.1.3

ok but it has to be one of either

thought so, otherwise this would create weird problems

lovetox, in which way?

because a remote client may open a new stream without you noticing

so you still might see duplicate IDs

At least avoid using the same (from, to, id) while one such iq is in flight

i just thought about, if i send a iq get

i only save the id, and if i see the id i call the callback

What if I reply with the same id from a different jid?

its considered so unlikely that i can live with it

feels bad man

you would have to guess the id in the right moment

also iqs i send are uuid

so the chance is lets say near zero

it would be a major achievment if you could guess a uuid in the right moment

but i guess i answered my own question

because im in control of choosing the id

not the server
