  1. jonasw

    seems like it

  2. jonasw

    maybe an editorial mistake that the jabber:iq:register FORM_TYPE isn’t used in the register workflow?

  3. Guus

    Does the Dino client use a fixed resource-part value?

  4. Zash tries

  5. Zash gets "dino.8ec193f8"

  6. Seve

    Their MUC: chat@dino.im

  7. jonasw

    SamWhited, uh, are you sure about that?

  8. jonasw

    grepping through my presence, I see the following XEP-0115 nodes which emit(ted) sha1 hashes: node='http://bitlbee.org/xmpp/caps' node='http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/riddim/' node='http://conversations.im' node='http://gajim.org' node='http://mcabber.com/caps' node='http://miranda-ng.org/caps' node='http://pidgin.im/' node='http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/caps' node='http://psi-im.org' node='http://psi-plus.com' node='https://dino.im' node='https://github.com/robbiehanson/XMPPFramework' node='http://sleekxmpp.com/ver/1.3.2' node='http://slixmpp.com/ver/1.2.4' node='http://slixmpp.com/ver/1.3.0' node='http://swift.im' node='http://tkabber.jabber.ru/' node='http://vacuum-im.googlecode.com' node='http://www.android.com/gtalk/client/caps' node='http://www.apple.com/ichat/caps' node='http://www.eyecu.ru' node='http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack' node='http://www.profanity.im'

    ENOCTX

  10. jonasw

    this should be about the total ecosystem and I’m wondering where you’re getting the base64 from

  11. SamWhited

    ahh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood; I thought he was looking at the bindata, let me check again.

  12. jonasw

    Zash, {xep 0153} presence update SHA1 encoding

  14. jonasw

    XEP schema says base64, XEP normative text says nothing about that, the whole ecosystem uses lowercase hex

  15. Zash

    Classic ecosystem.

  16. jonasw

    Zash, also, newest standards@ thread

  17. Zash

    I look away from mutt for 5 seconds and there's a bazillion new posts...

  18. daniel

    I think every one uses hex

  19. daniel

    Also the node in the pep avatar is also hex

  20. SamWhited

    It references RFC3174 which shows things in hex, I'm pretty sure. Still, seems as if it should be clarified.

  21. Zash

    hex vs b64 inconsistensy has happened before, like in the hashes xep, and jingle file transfer

  22. daniel

    > Now this is fun. First of all, the mantra: The Schemas Are Not Normative. the schemas are not normative? the examples aren't either. so what is?

  23. daniel

    and why do we have schemas and examples

  24. Zash

    the text is normative

  25. Zash

    which is great when all the text says is "this is how you do it:" followed by examples

  26. SamWhited

    I wish we'd get rid of schemas, for something that supposedly makes things less confusing it ends up introducing a lot of confusion.

  27. SamWhited

    And make examples normative since that's all anyone looks at anyways.

  28. Zash

    SamWhited: Unless the author goes the distance to make the schemas normative-worthy perhaps?

  29. SamWhited

    That would be nice, except that most authors don't understand XML schema, it's too confusing, and way too easy to get wrong.

  30. jonasw

    also, things we like to do are hard to express in XML schemas, see {xep 30}

  31. Bunneh

    jonasw: Service Discovery (Standards Track, Final, 2017-10-03) See: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0030.html

  32. SamWhited

    Right, you end up needing xml schema 2 which was more or less never implemented.

  33. jonasw

    SamWhited, you scared me there for a second with your base64 :)

  34. SamWhited

    jonasw: amusingly enough, I was confused because he sent xml schema…

  35. SamWhited

    (okay, that's not entirely fair, he did say "hash" as well, which I should have understood to mean the sha1)
