    does it make sense to try PLAIN on a host from xmpp-client?

  88. lovetox

    or does xmpp-client always mean START TLS

  89. MattJ

    PLAIN? The SASL mechanism?

  90. lovetox

    no, i mean no TLS

  91. MattJ

    Or do you mean a totally unencrypted connection?

  92. lovetox

    unencrypted

  93. MattJ

    It doesn't make sense to ever try an unencrypted connection

  94. Kev

    If what SRV resolves to doesn't offer TLS, it's a matter of local policy whether you'll continue without it.

  95. lovetox

    try is the wrong word

  96. lovetox

    the user wants to connect PLAIN, do i resolve xmpp-client and try there

  97. MattJ

    Yes

  98. lovetox

    or do i just resolve domain

  99. lovetox

    and use 5222

  100. MattJ

    You would still obey SRV

  101. Kev

    You always use SRV unless the user explicitly asks you not to (if you support such a thing).

  102. lovetox

    i wondered because xmpps-client is explicitly for DIRECT TLS

  103. lovetox

    so even if the user wants PLAIN, i would never try there

  104. lovetox

    i wondererd if xmpp-client is explicitly for START TLS

  105. Kev

    Calling it PLAIN is somewhat misleading. PLAIN is a SASL mechanism.

  106. Kev

    You mean 'The user asks to never use TLS', I think?

  107. flow

    lovetox, no, xmpp-client is for the TCP binding of XMPP defined bin RFC6120

  108. lovetox

    yes, the user asks to connect unencrypted

  109. lovetox

    ok good, thats what i wanted to know

  110. lovetox

    so i still have to resolve xmpp-client, before i go the domain:5222 fallback route

  111. MattJ

    Yes

  112. flow

    lovetox, that is what is written down in rfc6120 ;)

  113. lovetox

    i wondered why did we add websocket and bosh into a TXT record

  114. lovetox

    why not xmpp-client-websocket._tcp ..

  115. MattJ

    Because they need URLs

  116. lovetox

    ah its not allwoed

  117. lovetox

    ok

  118. lovetox

    its bit weird because it doesnt allow for weight and priority

  119. lovetox

    but i guess that would be really an edge case to have more than one websocket connection point

  120. MattJ

    HTTP doesn't

  121. lovetox

    ah so it always has to be over 80/443

  122. MattJ

    Yes

  123. lovetox

    that makes sense then

  124. MattJ

    We were discussing recently the 20 year-old bug report for Firefox to support SRV for HTTP

  125. MattJ

    Web folk have no interest in it

  126. lovetox

    writing since quite a time to move all connection/dns logic from gajim into nbxmpp

  127. lovetox

    if you want to support, xmpps, xmpp, websocket, unencrypted, proxy for websocket and tcp, setting a custom host (no srv resolution)

  128. lovetox

    and the lib should handle that all automatically, does get a bit complicated :D

  129. MattJ

    Indeed

  130. MattJ

    Someone needs to make a flowchart

  131. flow

    lovetox, that's exactly what I am also currently dealing with in my not-so-small smack refactor project

  132. lovetox

    but i have the luck of GLib taking most of the dns resolution away from me

  133. lovetox

    because if i would have to deal with stuff like happy eyeballs etc

  134. lovetox

    then i think it gets a bit crazy :)

  135. asterix has left

  136. flow

    I think you probably want happy eyeballs not only on the DNS level, but also on the connection level

  137. lovetox

    actually they ever provide methods like connect_to_service() where i just pass "xmpps-client"

  138. flow

    e.g. initiate TCP connections to the ipv4 and ipv6 endpoints in parallel

  139. lovetox

    yes flow GLib does that

  140. lovetox

    i incorrectly said DNS resolution, but GLib also does my connection

  141. flow

    nice

  142. asterix has joined

  143. lovetox

    though i had to implement socks5 proxy myself, because the code is really broken in GLib, but socks5 is really minimal, so not a problem

  144. flow

    now you may only want to make parallel connect_to_service calls for tcp+tls/direct-tls/websocket/bosh and use the transport whoever finishes first ;)

  145. lovetox

    hm no because they are not equivalent

  146. flow

    (I actually thought about doing that in Smack but decided against it for the moment, only the endpoint discovery runs concurrently)

  147. flow

    lovetox, I'd argue they are equivalent

  148. lovetox

    not direct tls has fewer roundtrips

  149. lovetox

    websocket is not as efficient as tcp

  150. flow

    sure, but why does it matter

  151. lovetox

    why does efficiency matter?

  152. flow

    that's not what I said

  153. lovetox

    of course i will try the way with fewest roundtrips first

  154. flow

    yes, there is a higher overhead in some transports, but isn't it also important to the user that the connection is established fast?

  155. lovetox

    also the chance that xmpps connect is failing although the server admin specified a srv record for it

  156. lovetox

    is probably minimal to 0

  157. lovetox

    eyeballs for ipv4, and ipv6 was made, because some networks didnt allow for ipv6, and some did, so there was no way to tell at start what will succeed

  158. lovetox

    so they race both

  159. flow

    lovetox, why try the one with the fewest roundstrips first when you could try all concurrently and simple use the one that finishes connecting first?

  160. lovetox

    because its much more work

  161. lovetox

    and almost no benefit

  162. Kev

    It also possibly depends what you mean by 'connecting'.

  163. lovetox

    opening a writeable socket

  164. flow

    lovetox, right, that's why I decided against it (for now)

  165. Kev

    A server operator probably isn't going to thank you for doing 6* as many TLS negotiations as you need, etc.

  166. flow

    Kev, true, but you could just not do TLS and define "connected" as layer 4 connection (e.g. TCP) established

  167. lovetox

    yes only open a socket

  168. lovetox

    also i do not retry with different connection method, if something fails while TLS negotiation or even on xmpp level

  169. lovetox

    then its just failed, im not helping the admin shadowing broken connection points

  170. flow

    well retry a different XMPP transport after a TLS negoation failure appears sensible. After all it could be a misconfigured BOSH endpoint while the other endpoint is correctly configured

  171. lovetox

    yeah exactly, no it does not make sense to me

  172. Kev

    Or not misconfigured, but a local transparent proxy is breaking HTTP.

  173. lovetox

    this way the point will never get fixed

  174. flow

    lovetox, I usually follow that argumentation, but it's the job of a client library to establish a connection whenever possible

  175. flow

    aborting the connection attempt seems even for me a little bit to harsh

  176. lovetox

    i think we have to disagree here

  177. flow

    of course we have

  178. lovetox

    and i think you never implement this right?

  179. flow

    define "this" pls

  180. lovetox

    retry different connection method if tls or xmpplevel fails

  181. flow

    I was explicitly only talking about TLS negotiation

  182. flow

    No, since Smack past and current design does iterate over different transports. It's only the new design that allows for modular transports to be used for the same connection, so I was not able to implement it in the past

  183. bhaveshsgupta has left

  184. lovetox

    yeah retry on error on xmpp level is just wrong for me

  185. lovetox

    and TLS .. maybe

  186. lovetox

    but think its tricky, would have to find out what TLS errors are errors where i want to try different

  187. lovetox

    cert error for example definitly not

  188. flow

    I'd thought especially cert errors

  189. lovetox

    and really do i want to connect desperatly to a server , where the admin didnt set up TLS correctly

  190. lovetox

    i dont know

    Hello all, I'm trying to implement a "reply to" requirement. I use an ejabberd server. Can anyone point me directions on how I can implement this? I know about Threads (xep-0201), but the problem is that I need to get the parent message from the server and I didn't find a way to query for specific messages (I don't have all the message history, because I'm paging it)

  308. sonny has joined

  309. leosbrf

  310. MattJ

    ,

  311. strar has left

  312. bhaveshsgupta has joined

  313. strar has joined

  314. MattJ

    You mean that you have a message, it says it is "in reply to message XYZ" and you need to find message XYZ?

  315. leosbrf

    yes

  316. leosbrf

    I also could make a query starting from 'message XYZ' and returning all other messages after it

  317. asterix has left

  318. asterix has joined

  319. leosbrf

    but the xmpp specs only gives me three fields: with, start, end

  320. MattJ

    Yeah, the current version of the XEP doesn't really support this use-case

  321. Zash

    hack: ask for one message and set rsm 'before' to the one you want and 'max=1', then request the message after the one you get.

  322. MattJ

    Ha

  323. MattJ

    But no, that's a terrible solution :)

  324. bhaveshsgupta has left

  325. bhaveshsgupta has joined

  326. leosbrf

    Zash , I tried that solution, but I would have to send a start/end filter. But the stanza only gives me an id which I believe is a unix timestamp. Still, I could not convert it to a proper datetime string accepted by the form_type. It gives me a NAN error 🤔

  327. Zash

    You shouldn't assume anything about archive ids, they're opaque strings.

  328. Zash

    As for ejabberd requiring all three MAM form fields, that's just weird.

  329. lovetox

    it does not

  330. Zash

    Looks like it to me

  331. lovetox

    maybe we talk about different things

  332. bhaveshsgupta has left

  333. lovetox

    but its impossible, the prime uscase and example in MAM is querying the archive without any formfield set

  334. lovetox

    and im pretty sure i never did set all 3 formfields ever

  335. Zash

    Every time I try that with an ejabberd, I get an error back.

  336. lovetox

    and MAM works fine

  337. Zash

    MUC-MAM tho

  338. lovetox

    why would that be different

  339. Zash

    Don't ask me

  340. lovetox has left

  341. lovetox has joined

  342. leosbrf

    in ejabberd (my settings) you could pass zero or more of the following fields: <field var="with" type="jid-single" label="User JID" /> <field var="start" type="text-single" label="Search from the date" /> <field var="end" type="text-single" label="Search until the date" /> <field var="withtext" type="text-single" label="Search the text" />

  343. lovetox

    please show the xml of your query

  344. bhaveshsgupta has joined

    sure, one sec

  353. lovetox

    correct

  354. lovetox

    then i would say you dont respect the XEP zash

  355. lovetox

    the xep says server must only use the default if the field is omitted

  356. lovetox

    not if the value is omitted

  357. leosbrf

    and it returns: <iq xmlns="jabber:client" xml:lang="en" to="admin@localhost/106417850532246324662946" from="some_room@conference.localhost" type="result" id="supported_query_fields"> <query xmlns="urn:xmpp:mam:2"> <x xmlns="jabber❌data" type="form"> <field var="FORM_TYPE" type="hidden"> <value>urn:xmpp:mam:2</value> </field> <field var="with" type="jid-single" label="User JID" /> <field var="start" type="text-single" label="Search from the date" /> <field var="end" type="text-single" label="Search until the date" /> <field var="withtext" type="text-single" label="Search the text" /> </x> </query> </iq>

  358. lovetox

    leosbrf, you need to do a "set" query, not a "get"

  359. lovetox

    what you request is the filter options

  360. lovetox

    but you dont need filters

  361. lovetox

    the xep is a bit weird this way, but there are 2 important distinctions

  362. Zash

    No code I have can distinguish between <field> being omitted and <value> being omitted.

  363. lovetox

    filterng and limiting

  364. lovetox

    as you see the filtering options dont help you with your usecase

  365. lovetox

    so just set no filter, which would tirgger the server to give you all messages in the archive

  366. bhaveshsgupta has left

  367. lovetox

    but because you dont want all messages, you limit this result now to one message with a specific id

  368. lovetox

    you can do this with adding a rsm node

  369. leosbrf

    lovetox , how can I limit that? What is the stanza that I need to send to server?

  370. lovetox

    <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'> <max>1</max> <after>09af3-cc343-b409f</after> </set>

  371. lovetox

    but as pointed out, you would need the message id, before the one you want

  372. lovetox

    you sadly cant request a specific id, you can only get all message after an id or before an id

    I stuck in getting that id. Because when I request the room history, the stanzas returned have this format: <message xmlns="jabber:client" to="admin@localhost/3247206387247491563010" from="some_room@conference.localhost"> <result xmlns="urn:xmpp:mam:2" id="1578509255305907"> <forwarded xmlns="urn:xmpp:forward:0"> <message xmlns="jabber:client" xml:lang="en" from="some_room@conference.localhost/leo1" type="groupchat"> <x xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user"> <item jid="leo1@localhost/107114335247801189862018" /> </x> <archived xmlns="urn:xmpp:mam:tmp" by="some_room@conference.localhost" id="1578509255305907" /> <stanza-id xmlns="urn:xmpp:sid:0" by="some_room@conference.localhost" id="1578509255305907" /> <urls /> <body>someone send a message</body> </message> <delay xmlns="urn:xmpp:delay" from="conference.localhost" stamp="2020-01-08T18:47:35.305907Z" /> </forwarded> </result> </message>

    what is "reply to"? that is a similar functionality that whatsapp provides (you click a message and click reply). The way I implement, I would store the message id in the child message

  390. lovetox

    you doing your own thing

  391. lovetox

    yeah attaching something to a message is a big discussion right now, and its currently not possible

  392. lovetox

    because MAM is not adapted to that usecase

    hmm, so that is the reason why I spent some hours researching and found none implementation..hehe . But something you said before gave me directions. In this example: <after>09af3-cc343-b409f</after>. Is this code something dynamically generated for the current query request?
