Zash, in light of what you wrote, what do you think of IPFS or alternative links of non-HTTP protocols?

lack of client support?

No lack of client support. I think it's useful and perhaps some servers would rather no to allow HTTP uploads.

hm when a user on a transport

say a matrix user

and i send a disco info

how would the response look like

the <identity>

would it contain some information that this is a user on a gateway?

and another question, is a gateway always just a domain?

or can a user account also be a gateway

aim.jabber.org vs aim@jabber.org

best not to make assumptions if you can avoid it, other than "it's a JID"

Zash, but how to avoid it? there is nothing that marks a jid as a user account

but interaction with a gateway is different then iteraction with a user account

i need to know with what i deal

disco#info should tell you whether you are dealing with a gateway

user accounts are user accounts, no matter if via gateway or not IMO

but the gateway knows best and should expose that sensibly ✏

so i have a jid user@domain.com

and it returns this in its disco info

<identity type="telegram" name="Telegram Gateway" category="gateway" />

what should i do?

what other identities does it return?

just that one?

> what should i do? when? why?

just that one

the question goes into the direction, how do i discover a user account

and i feel there is no good answer with xmpp

its more like, if it misses a lot of other things, then its probably a user account

what about

identity category='client'

but this is only returned if an actual client answers the disco info

which for gateways is not the case

from the registry: The "gateway" category consists of translators between Jabber/XMPP services and non-XMPP services.

lovetox, complain to the gateway, it should return category='client' for end identities

so category gateway is only allowed to be returned from a service

at least i read it that way

actually the gateway should probably respond with

The "account" category is to be used by a server when responding to a disco request sent to the bare JID (user@host addresss) of an account hosted by the server.

ah yes, account I meant
