    I wonder if it would be a bad idea to ban html-only mails on standards@. It breaks display of quoting badly on text-only MUAs

  96. jonasw

    markup discussions \o/

  97. jonasw

    we haven’t had any for over a week

  98. Ge0rG

    meta-markup.

  99. Ge0rG

    or markup-meta?

  100. Ge0rG

    I'm actually catching up the Styling thread from three weeks ago.

  101. jonasw

    ah, so maybe using html-only there was an act of irony? :)

  102. Ge0rG

    So far, the html-only mails I've read didn't contribute anything positive to the discussion. If it wasn't for my Council hat, I'd have blacklisted them already.

  118. Ge0rG has left

  119. Tobias

    jonasw, using the Nickname as source of coloring would have other issues, like when somebody else joins a room with the same nick they'll get the same color, suggesting to the user that they are the same

  120. zinid has left

  121. zinid has joined

  122. Ge0rG

    hey marc, any news from your XEP?

  123. Ge0rG

    zinid: why don't you volunteer some time and actually improve the protocols, then? :P

  124. zinid

    Ge0rG, typical open-source nerd detected 🙂 If you don't have the feature: write it!

  125. jonasw

    Tobias, we have that problem with anonymous MUCs in any case

  126. zinid

    while you can act like this (many do) you will end up with no users of your standards eventually

  127. Tobias

    true..so maybe in that case they should be all colored the same?

  128. sonny has joined

  129. jonasw

    Tobias, that’s what is specified now

  130. Tobias

    great

  131. daniel

    zinid: I didn't think much about any namespace issues with the retry element. I guess I can move it around.

  132. Guus

    https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/595zg5/sopranica-jmp-wom-cell-network-diy-anonymous seems to be xmpp based.

  133. zinid

    daniel, I'm concerned because ejabberd has validation mode now, and I don't know how to validate unknown elements or attributes

  134. zinid

    the mode is optional

  135. daniel

    zinid: yes I'll add it beneath the iq then. I just didn't think about validation. In fact this can probably cause issues in other implementations as well. (just due to a lack of a getExtension method for the error class)

  136. zinid

    right

  137. Ge0rG

    "the web address in your Jabber ID will be different—for example, motherboard@jabber.ccc.de or motherboard@xmpp.jp." That made my eyes bleed.

  138. marc

    Ge0rG: no not yet (XEP)

  139. Ge0rG

    marc: I'd really like to tear it apa.. eh.. I mean.. provide some constructive feedback

  140. marc

    Ge0rG: let me check if I have Git access at the moment

  141. Ge0rG

    Guus: that's an interesting article about an interesting tech. I remember there was an announcement of the JMP service on one of our MLs two months ago or so

  142. Ge0rG

    But I didn't realize it's more than just a VoIP bridging service.

  143. Guus

    Ge0rG: I kind of had the same experience

  144. Guus

    also: be nice to marc.

  145. Ge0rG

    I'm interested in adhoc 3G infrastructure for a completely different project, but now I forgot the MUC JID :(

  146. Guus

    bookmarks! :D

  147. tux has joined

  148. Ge0rG

    Guus: I've stored it in PEP, but then it was gone after a server upgrade!!!!1!

  149. Guus

    oh no! you did a _server upgrade_ ?!

  150. jonasw

    s/upgrade/restart/?

  151. Ge0rG

    Guus: I did a _server_ _upgrade_!

  152. jonasw

    Guus, we’ll be nice to marc :)

  159. Guus takes out his trusty smelly trout and eyes Ge0rG...

  160. Guus

    (mIRC references are one step down from bash.org quotes, right? :) )

  161. Ge0rG

    Guus: you may only swing the trout from mIRC32.exe

  162. Ge0rG

    Guus: unless you have screenshots of connecting to this MUC from mIRC, I won't take any damage.

  163. moparisthebest has joined

  170. Ge0rG

    daniel: it rather looks like SIP and picocells

  171. SouL

    You can join discuss@conference.soprani.ca if interested on that

  172. daniel

    picocells as in 4G? are you allowed to run those in the US?

  173. marc

    Ge0rG, https://git.zapb.de/xeps.git/log/?h=user_invite_public

  174. marc

    Ge0rG, as I said, just the protocol examples

  176. Ge0rG

    daniel: if you are a telco and have the frequencies, then yes.

  177. daniel

    ok. i'll put it into my not gonna happen box

    no, you’ll also be nice to marc *waves hand*

  198. Ge0rG

    Chain of trust NOT ok (chain incomplete)

  199. marc

    Ge0rG: not that I'm aware of. It works on all clients for me

  200. Ge0rG

    marc: it's apparently not in the Root CA list on my old-ish Debian box

  210. marc

    You have to wait with your "feedback" then ;)

  211. Alex has joined

  212. Ge0rG

    jonasw: I consider it nice to think through what another person suggests and to make constructive feedback. I also consider it nice to not steal people's time by adding large amounts of boilerplate text that simulates politeness, instead just jumping to the point. For reasons beyond my comprehension, people call me blunt and negativistic.

  267. jonasw

    zinid, FWIW, RFC 6120 schemas are incorrect, so I wonder how much pain you’ll be having with validation.

  268. jonasw

    at least afaict, the schemas do not allow for application-defined-condition in the error element, despite the text explicitly allowing that

  269. jonasw

    also, the text allows for the use of the "code" attribute for compatibility, but the schema does not

  270. zinid

    jonasw, I can leave with this and fix the validator accordingly

  271. zinid

    what I don't want is doing this constantly

  272. jonasw

    you may also be in violation of RFC 6120, because servers must simply route traffic addressed to clients (independent of their understanding), but I don’t have a quote for that right now

  273. zinid

    yeah, and in another place the RFC says you MAY validate, go figure

  274. jonasw

    I understand your general concern, but ignoring undefined attributes and elements is essentially how extensibility in XMPP works.

  275. Guus has left

  276. zinid

    no

  277. zinid

    this is not how it should work, because there simply can be tag names collisions if we allow adding whatever anyone wants

  278. jonasw

    no, that’s why we have namespaces

  279. jonasw

    a namespace is defined in a single document

  280. jonasw

    (roughly)

  281. Guus

    for what it's worth, people in here repeatedly repeat that "schema's in XEPs are not normative" - Best beware to depend on them to much.

  282. zinid

    what's the point in this namespace if anyone can extend it?

  283. jonasw

    zinid, define "anyone"

  284. Zash

    Pretty sure our equivalent to the robustness principle is "ignore what you don't understand"

  285. jonasw

    the author and maintainer of the namespace can.

  286. nyco has left

  287. zinid

    jonasw, you or me for example, can I use <foo xmlns='jabber:client'> for my extension?

  288. jonasw

    no

  289. jonasw

    well, you can, but that’d be stupid and asking for trouble

  290. zinid

    and <retry xmlns='http:upload:0'>?

  291. jonasw

    and nobody would approve of that

  292. jonasw

    same

  293. jonasw

    unless you’re doing this in context of a XEP-0363 update

  294. zinid

    but you can?

  295. zinid

    you = XSF

  296. daniel

    owning the samespace you must

  297. daniel

    owning the namespace you must

  298. jonasw

    I don’t think that the XSF would approve of a XEP update to any XEP *but* XEP-0363 which extends the http:upload:0 namespace

  299. intosi

    Only the IETF can introduce elements and attributes in the jabber:client xmlns through a replacement RFC, I think.

  300. zinid

    so, that means XSF can add whatever they want, but not others?

  301. jonasw

    zinid, sure, the XSF "owns" the urn:xmpp namespace. that’s the whole point of having a standards organization?

  302. Zash

    It's all in our heads anyways

  303. zinid

    well, of course it's up to you, but I won't change ejabberd validation style

  304. zinid

    as I disagree

  305. moparisthebest has joined

  306. daniel

    Zash, namespaces exists only because people believe in them?

  307. jonasw

    zinid, what would you prefer?

  308. zinid

    bumping namespace obviously

  309. daniel

    and if people stop believe the whole system will collapse?

  310. Zash

    daniel: pretty much

  311. jonasw

    zinid, that’s insanity.

  312. jonasw

    bumping the namespace is a major breakage

  313. jonasw

    also, this is an experimental XEP

  314. zinid

    jonasw, then wait for major breakage and add it in that revision

  315. jonasw

    don’t expect any type of stability in there

  316. zinid

    if this is an experimental xep I don't see a problem in bumping at all

  317. jonasw

    unnecssary namespace bumps are a bunch of the reason why "basic" things like MAM are troublesome.

  318. zinid

    but what do you expect from experimental xep?

  319. Guus has left

  320. Kev has left

  321. Flow

    what I expect from any XEP: no namespace bumps for backwards compatible changes

  322. zinid

    what I expect: the protocol should be formally verified

  323. zinid

    we can debate to death, really

  324. Guus

    This touches on a comment made by Jonasw on list - it's probably not the best of ideas to apply a change when the XEP is in last-call.

  325. daniel has left

  326. Flow

    Then we should write down that rule in xep1

  327. zinid

    yes, the rules are: 1) schemas are meaningless 2) the protocol cannot be formally verified 3) only XSF can add new elements within the same namespace

  328. zinid

    now, implement!

  329. daniel has left

  330. Guus

    Flow: I don't mind clarifying that in XEP-0001, but perhaps we can also simply try to avoid this from occurring, and save the red tape.

  331. Guus

    As the author of the XEP is also on Council, I'm interested in how this plays out though :)

  332. daniel

    zinid: I don't understand why you would want to add new elements with the official namespace. Just use your own

  333. arc has left

  334. arc has joined

  335. zinid

    daniel, not me, but I see this quite frequently among customer's code

  336. daniel

    Is there anything stopping them from using their own namespace besides lack of knowledge (that they should do this)

  337. zinid

    because they don't want to create a namespace with a single element, I think that's their logic

  338. daniel

    i see

  339. daniel

    but you can hardly blame the system or the xsf for that

  340. zinid

    I can use validator to prevent such behaviour among customers

  341. zinid

    which works ideally, they don't even create tickets 😛

    MattJ, jonasw: would you feel more comfortable if retry is a direct child of the iq?

  415. jonasw

    daniel, NO

  416. jonasw

    that violates RFC 6120

  417. MattJ

    iq can only have one child

  418. jonasw

    please don’t do that

    what you’re doing now is fine with RFC 6120, albeit weird usage of the "condition"

  420. MattJ

    daniel, do you have an objection to just using the error type for this information?

  421. daniel

    MattJ: yes. I want to know _when_ I can retry

  422. daniel

    This could be seconds or hours

  423. jonasw

    daniel, hm, how would the server know when the client can retry?

  424. daniel

    Depending on implementation

  425. jonasw

    quota cleanup cronjob something?

  426. dwd

    MattJ, Well. Errors can have two, actually. Sort of.

  427. Zash

    Could this not be in a custom element next to the error?

  428. MattJ

    dwd, ?

  429. daniel

    jonasw: we are taking about quotas like only x MiB an hour

  430. dwd

    MattJ, Error + original request.

  431. jonasw

    daniel, well, actually, you could in fact make this a child of <iq/>, but I would consider that abuse. normally an error IQ only returns the original data, if anything

  432. Zash

    I haven't looked at whatever this <retry> thing is closely enough yet

  433. daniel

    Jabber.at is doing this

  434. Guus has left

  435. SamWhited has left

  436. Zash

    a "application-specific condition element" ala retry-after t=x

  437. Guus has joined

  438. jonasw

    daniel, FWIW, I’m fine-ish with this being a child of <error/>. I find it a bit weird, though. Maybe wrap it in a <quota-exceeded xmlns="http-upload"/> thing first? Then there would be an actual condition, with additional information on when to re-try. It also allows to re-use the <retry/> for other possible conditions (like <ebusy/> or so)

  439. daniel

    then i have to define every possible error condition instead of relying on normal errors + text

  440. jonasw

    daniel, good point

  441. MattJ

    It seems like this is a specific case though, not something that could be combined with every other error

  442. pep.

    I'm curious what's wrong with defining errors and not just dumping text

  443. jonasw

    pep., you need to foresee every possible condition

  444. pep.

    Can you not extent it later?

  445. daniel

    pep., we already have a huge bunch of 'predefined' errors

  446. jonasw

    pep., maybe first read up on the context; in this case, it’s about annotating errors with a time at which the client may re-try

  447. pep.

    jonasw, yeah I need to read stuff

  448. daniel

    jonasw, if anything i could wrap it in something like <temporal-error><retry/></temporal-error> (working title)

  449. jonasw

    daniel, as I said, I’m fine-ish with <retry/> as child of error. it feels weird, but I’m fine-ish with that.

  450. jonasw

    well, that’s not usefull at all, leave it as child of <retry/> in that case, because that’s realyl just saying "this is *really* a type='wait' error, no kidding" :)

  451. jonasw

    I have a larger problem with making substantial changes after last call begun :/

  452. Zash

    <error type='wait'><resource-constraint/><text>You exceeded the quota, try again in an hour or so</text><retry-after stamp="YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"/></error> ?

  491. edhelas

    daniel would it be possible to see if we can figure out the usage of SIMS in Conversations https://github.com/siacs/Conversations/issues/2637 ?

  492. daniel

    What particular feature do you need edhelas?

  493. edhelas

    basically that when Conversations upload a file it embed it using SIMS to the message, and not only OOB

  494. edhelas

    this allow other clients like Movim to have a bit more metadata about the file and create a nice thumbnail

  495. SamWhited

    I think I've asked like three times (sorry, I promise to write it down this time) but what was lacking from SIMS that OOB has that conversations uses?

  496. Kev has left

  497. lovetox

    nothing

  498. lovetox

    it was just there before

  499. daniel

    edhelas, mind giving me an full example of a message stanza you want me to create?

  500. Zash

    Is this going to be another one of those times where the better solution dies because an okayish method already existed?

  501. lovetox

    edhelas, i would also implement this in gajim

  502. edhelas

    that would be awesome

  503. pep.

    Zash: first come first served

  504. lovetox

    but only for httpupload in short term

  505. edhelas

    daniel I can if you want, maybe tonight, but basically everything is done here in Movim https://github.com/movim/moxl/blob/master/src/Moxl/Stanza/Message.php#L101

  506. SamWhited

    OOB/SIMS is on my list of "things to deprecate one of", so if everyone wants to go implement SIMS that would make things much easier…

  507. edhelas

    I'm doing SIMS and OOB when publishing and only SIMS when receiving

  508. daniel

    edhelas, so you put the url in the body and then set no begin and end attributes in the reference?

  509. daniel

    and you ignore the XEP MUST implement Jingle File Transfer (XEP-0234)?

  510. edhelas

    that's true, I'll put this begin and end tags

  511. lovetox

    daniel

  512. pep.

    Jingle-FT in movim when? :-°

  513. lovetox

    i think the xep means OR

  514. lovetox

    i dont see a reason why we have to implement jingle AND httpupload

  515. edhelas

    > This XEP delegates actual transport of the media data to one of the existing file-transfer XEPs. Thus a client supporting this XEP MUST implement Jingle File Transfer (XEP-0234) [2] and HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363) [4].

  516. daniel

    lovetox, are you sure? the <file> element is even in the jingle namespace

  517. daniel

    for what ever reason

  518. edhelas

    so how does it work if I want to embed a file that was just uploaded by HTTP Upload ?

  519. edhelas

    the file is not in my machine, I just have some metadata and a URL

  520. daniel

    edhelas, you tell me. you wanted me to implement the XEP :-)

  521. lovetox

    ah i think the xep just builds up on jingle file transfer negotiation

  522. lovetox

    so you have to implement the negotiation part

  523. SamWhited

    That whole section doesn't make much sense to me, I think it just needs to be reworded.

  524. lovetox

    but do not have to offer the actual jingle transport

  525. lovetox

    instead you put in httpupload

  526. edhelas

    daniel that's all valid questions :) thanks for raising them

  527. daniel

    you also need bob for thumbnails which i find very weird

  528. daniel

    i'm not gonna implement bob

  529. edhelas

    so we need to upaded SIMS, do HTTP Upload AND/OR Jingle FT

  530. daniel

    has *anyone* ever implemented bob?

  531. edhelas

    I do

  532. daniel

    weird

  533. lovetox

    no edhelas this xep builds up on jingle FT

  534. edhelas

    to do stickers sharing, the files are small enough to be shared using base64

  535. lovetox

    that does not mean you have to provide a jingle transport like socks5 or whatever

  536. daniel

    well yes. but the counterpart has to be online

  537. daniel

    which doesn't go well with the 'stateless' premise of the xep

  538. pep.

    I know a few people were talking of a jingle component (so server-side), any discussion started on this already?

  539. edhelas

    so we have to tackle again this "file sharing" discussion

  540. daniel

    edhelas, i mean I can totally implement what you are doing in that PHP script you linked earlier. that's like 10 minutes work

  541. daniel

    but i'm really not sure that has anything to do with implementing the XEP

  542. edhelas

    yeah I understand

  543. edhelas

    to br frank I'm using SIMS to pass the metadata of HTTP File Upload to the other JID, that's mostly it

  544. daniel

    edhelas, what meta data are you interested in? mime type and size mostly i would assume?

  545. daniel

    maybe file name

  546. Guus has left

  547. daniel

    by the way I personally also regard resolution (width * height) as a nice to have because that would could allow me to allocate space for this in the UI. which this XEP is not doing.

  548. edhelas

    yup, mime and size as well, I'm not trusting them 100% but they tells me if I need to resolve the HTTP HEADER if I'm interested to build an attachement block to the message

  549. daniel

    so for me SIMS is just not doing the right thing. because i would ignore vast parts of the XEP and couldn't even but some information in there I want to put in there

  550. daniel

    *put

  551. lovetox

    sims is just not trying to be a better OOB

  552. daniel

    Sure.

  553. lovetox

    thats why it reuses jingle stuff

  554. daniel

    It's doing something completely different

  555. edhelas

    if we are improving OOB to add those tags I'd be happy

  556. lovetox

    i dont think so edhelas

  557. lovetox

    or at least i dont know how easy we can extend a xep years long in draft

  558. lovetox

    and if its good

  559. SamWhited

    I don't understand what SIMS is trying to be if not a better OOB; I agree that the XEPs focus seems a bit off, but that's fixable

  560. lovetox

    oob has a clear use case, and does it well, you can communicated a uri with a description

  561. lovetox

    really SamWhited ?

  562. lovetox

    you dont see what it trys to do beside adding metadata?

  563. SamWhited

    No, as far as I can tell it's a better OOB except that it focuses on file transfer for some reason

  564. lovetox

    you can share a file with multiple connection points for the receiver

  565. lovetox

    he can choose if he wants to request it via jingle

  566. lovetox

    or httpupload

  567. SamWhited

    Right, and that's all just sharing some metadata about the file

  568. lovetox

    or any other FT method invented in the future

  569. Tobias has joined

  570. SamWhited

    And basically what OOB does except in a more general way

  571. SamWhited

    It's OOB but with arbitrary URIs and some other random metadata

  572. lovetox

    what is the argument? you can add a shittone of stuff to OOB xep then its the same?

  573. SamWhited

    Can you? I don't see definitions for anything like eg. different resolutions of the same file or other things SIMS has

  574. lovetox

    i think we going in circles

  575. lovetox

    frist you tell that you dont understand what sims trys to do

  576. lovetox

    now you tell me oob does not have definitions about file resolutions

  577. daniel

    neither has sims though?

  578. ralphm has left

  579. SamWhited

    It doesn't, and I don't see how these two things are related; you said that SIMS doesn't do the same thing as OOB, and if that's true I don't understand what it does differently. To me it seems like it's just an improved OOB.

  580. lovetox

    daniel i think you can just add more file tags

  581. lovetox

    with different images

  582. SamWhited

    I thought SIMS specifically had that? Maybe I need to read it again

  583. daniel

    within the same reference?

  584. daniel

    how do i match a source and a file then?

  585. lovetox

    nah i think im confusing this

  586. lovetox

    this was 0084 with different avatar sizes or

  587. SamWhited

    Ah yah, this one is just thumbnail. Regardless, it was just an example. "more metadata than OOB" was the point.

  588. lovetox

    yeah ok, but whats bad about this?!

  589. Zash

    It's a pointer.

  590. lovetox

    it tries to be more general and have more info then oob

  591. lovetox

    not just a bit more, WAY more

  592. SamWhited

    I don't really care if we have more or less metadata, I just think we don't need two XEPs that do more or less the same thing

  593. lovetox

    so thats what i asked you 4 minutes ago

  594. lovetox

    18:07:50] ‎lovetox‎: what is the argument? you can add a shittone of stuff to OOB xep then its the same?

  595. tux has left

  596. Guus has left

  597. Zash

    SamWhited: You are giving me the impression that we can never improve on things that already exist, since that would require overlaping protocols for some time.

  598. lovetox

    oob is a easy small xep that lets you share a description and a uri

  599. lovetox

    let it be what it is

  600. Holger has left

  601. daniel

    yes. wouldn't touch oob. if anything we would create a new XEP that is a more streamlined 'here is an uri and here is some meta data'

  602. daniel

    or SIMS can move into that direction

  603. jonasw

    I’d prefer the latter

  604. jonasw

    SIMS seems like nice framework to extend

  605. SamWhited

    I agree

  606. jonasw

    the MUST support Jingle-FT is weird though

  607. jonasw

    I didn’t know about that, maybe ask Tobias what that is about?

  608. Zash

    jonasw: Why is that weird?

  609. daniel

    and the bob thumbnails are even more weird

  610. jonasw

    Zash, Jingle-FT is a rather complex beast, isn’t it?

  611. Zash

    jonasw: If it's basically a pointer to a thing available over Jingle-FT?

  612. jonasw

    it’s not necessarily Jingle-FT, or doesn’t necessarily need to be Jingle-FT

  613. SamWhited

    Jingle-FT and SIMS are completely orthogonal; SIMS isn't a pointer to a Jingle URI, it also lets you have a pointer to an HTTP Upload API, and as far as I can tell could also provide a pointer to "my proprietary thing" URI.

  614. jonasw

    or BOB

  615. daniel

    expect that it says must support jingle ft

  616. nyco has left

  617. daniel

    and it's at least unclear how to do thumbnails without bob

  618. SamWhited

    That seems like it either means "must support using the Jingle FT metadata XML" or "must usupport Jingle FT *or* something else" and it was just poorly worded, but I guess we'd have to ask Tobias

  619. jonasw

    maybe post that to the list, daniel?

  620. SamWhited

    That and the paragraph after it confuse me though, so I suspect we just need section 5.1 reworded for clarity.

  621. lovetox

    im sure tobias just wanted to reuse already definied tags in another xep

  622. lovetox

    instead of reinventing the same tags under a new namespace

  623. daniel

    jonasw, no. i have bigger fish to fry to be honest. things I actually need for Conversations. not saying that i won't implement SIMS but let other people figure out the details

  624. lovetox

    either way i think its no problem to make this jingle agnostic

  625. jonasw

    daniel, but spark the discussion maybe?

  626. daniel

    jonasw, that's gonna get ignored anyway

  627. jonasw

    gotta love your optimism

  628. daniel

    like the one about MAM or the problems I raised with jingle-ft

  629. daniel

    and those are things i actually care about

  630. SamWhited

    MAM is being addressed isn't it? I thought Kev and Matthew responded to that and said they'd get a revision out

  631. Kev

    Hmm? Not reading context, but a MAM update is <> close to the top of my stack.

  648. lovetox

    edhelas thats what the end and begin is for

  681. edhelas

    yup, but would you like to implement it in Conversations as well ?

  682. daniel

    in general yes. but i have the blocker not having stanza content encryption

  683. daniel

    and that's not going to be resolved any time soon tbh

  684. daniel

    it's easier for me at this point to generate that information on the receiving end

  685. daniel

    (opt in)

  686. edhelas

    yes I understand

  687. daniel

    also ironically - generating the content on might have some privacy related down sides; but to properly circumvent this you'd have to mirror the image on the sender or else you will be at least leaking the image url
