XSF Discussion - 2023-04-18

isn't that just a matter of immutable RFCs? that said, lovetox, feel free to fill an errata for RFC 5122, so this isn't lost in case an rfc5122bis happens. however, it is hard to imagine that an update to rfc5122 will not reference the current XMPP address rfc

a more pressing question is how to correctly generate "omemo verification URIs" when `iquerycomp` wants an `iquerytype` before the params. status quo just omits it. what would be an already standardized querytype most appropriate here that's also unlikely to break existing implementations? `xmpp:foo@bar?message;omemo-sid-123=abcdef` maybe?

I also question the ABNF in saying iquerytype and ipair can be empty strings

oh wait, `*` means "one or more" probably

nope, not this time. `*` means `0*∞`: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234#section-3.6 ✏

`xmpp:foo@bar?omemo;sid=abcdef` would be more approriate i think

would need standardization and changing implementations. I'm looking for a way that would work right now :)

on the generation side ✏

you have a non standard uri, it doesnt really matter in which way you change it, as it adheres to no standard, you can only guess if a parsing client would break or not

"parsing clients" set is likely == {Conversations}, so that simplifies the task :))

are you suggesting only Conversations support omemo?

or do you mean only smartphones need that uri?

because there are a lot of clients who support omemo

fwiw i think `xmpp:foo@bar?messgae;omemo-sid-123=abcdef` would not break Conversations

thanks Daniel

lovetox: I mean I'm not aware of any other client that parses this kind of URIs ✏

i guess the original intent was to communicate it via QR code

yes, that's why I suspect there might be other mobile clients that support it

so that would only make devices with camera and integrated QR code parser affected

in particular, iOS is a totally blind spot for me

> so that would only make devices with camera and integrated QR code parser affected So only all consumer devices then? ↺

Phones, laptops, tablets

scanning qr with laptop, is that really a thing?

Yes

and with a Pi!
