Does anyone know what causes: > Stream closed by local host: Idle connection (connection-timeout)

benk, some servers close idle connections, so I assume it's that

But I can't send messages to this federated contact. I don't know whether to blame his server or mine

That message, alone, doesn't sound like the culprit

Closing idle connections happens all the time

I would assume so, but it's unusual that messages are failing to send because of this

I agree it's unusual, so I would suspect a different cause

the last time I had a federation issue the other admin simply had to restart ejabberd, so maybe one of our servers has gotten into a state

Closing idle connections wouldn't be the cause, but it would mean that the connection has to be reestablished, which could run into trouble that only the initiating side sees.

That doesn't sound normal. There are ejabberd servers with plenty of uptime, and I doubt a restart is the least disruptive way to solve 99% of issues.

Yeah, this is the kind of thing I'd expect to see more of if bidi was widely deployed :)

afaik ejabberd doesn't support that yet

this is what I'm seeing a few times in the last case

Okay, that is a bit strange

I'd maybe take that to the ejabberd support MUC, maybe they know what could be going on

will do
