Of particular interest at the moment is how we should discover your STUN & TURN servers. Does the client have the servers hardcoded, or does it get them sent to it during the web authentication? Would you consider adding SRV records in the SIP style of _stun._udp.gmail.com etc for making at least your STUN servers available to 3rd party clients? >> according to the standard in places (<presence type="unavailable"> >> behaves like invisible, so the server sends us presence, messages and >> iqs... something like <feature >> var='presence-unavailable-behaves-like-invisible'/>). > > I will fix this instead of advertising the broken behavior. Ok, cool... but fix as in remove this invisibility behaviour entirely and make unavailable do what it says on the tin, or could you leave us a way of becoming invisible somehow? In lieu of a simplified jabber:iq:privacy profile at the moment, could you behave like jabberd2 and have this invisible behaviour available as <presence type='invisible' />, and make it discoverable as <feature var='presence-invisible' />, or would the resulting slight XMPP transgression be too offensive? Failing that, a google:invisible would probably suffice for the time being, if you could see it was there with disco. :) >> +1 too, but in the meantime, how are we supposed to block users on >> Google Talk? > > We discouarge the use of the extension, but don't prevent you from > using the extension. Sure, I understand this, but it's clear (at least to me) that if I've looked at diagnostic logs and made educated guesses at how something works, and that this something is undocumented and lives inside your private namespace, I really can't expect that it will always work like this or will always be available. However, I don't think that making a feature appear in service discovery doesn't imply a level of support for it. It just gives anyone who is foolish enough to implement it a very clear indication of when it's definitely won't work. It would be very nice to see some disco responses with some of these google things in, even if in two weeks they break or disappear. :) Regards, Rob
