What libraries support OMEMO these days? If I wanted to make a simple bot that supported OMEMO, where should I look?

this is likely unhelpful but I just use xep-0027 PGP from bots

MattJ, probably slixmpp with the plugin pep. made

are you asking for xmpp lib that supports omemo

or are you asking for a lib that helps impl omemo

an XMPP lib that supports OMEMO, and hopefully hides as much of it from me as possible

I just want to send/receive OMEMO messages

only slixmpp is known to me, but i didnt look into it, i dont know how much it does by itself

it's still pretty bare

I let the user handle lots of the exceptions, trust etc. I don't have many helpers yet

MattJ, may I interest you in some Smack? The for piece is free (and all following, so yeah?!)

I'd rather not Java, but if it's what helps get the job done most easily, it's what I'll have to use :)

MattJ: there is a pythom OMEM and then sleekXMPP also supports I believe. so python may proveto be lighter than java for a bot n you may grt more libs for it for AI kind of bot

Is there someone familiar with gloox around? I'm using gloox with openssl and it seems to not use the default certificates from openssl. Am I expected to load them explicitly from my application?

Not familiar with gloox but in Prosody we need to tell openssl where to look for root certificates, so you probably have to as well.

`SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()`

Now you get to enjoy figuring out where those come from. (Hint: It varies by distro)

Yes, I know about the openssl side and the OS. But gloox abstracts the ssl things from my app so I can't do it that way

I can only give a path to a pem file or directory with certificates apparently

So I expected it would do this part for me as well. Well I'll open a bug report to gloox and ask there I guess

Set the cacert dir to `/etc/ssl/certs` and 🤷️

Yes, but doing this in haiku I lose the possibility for the user to use custom certs at a system-wide level (we have custom defaults in openssl to allow that). Well, it will do for now…
