[Standards] need clarification about adding own jid to roster
Hi, as xmpp client developer (coccinella), I want to add my own jid to my roster. The last time I worked on that, was about a year ago. There I took RFC3921bis-08 as reference. There in chapter 2.3.3 at the end it stated: The server MUST return a stanza error to the client if the value of the element's 'jid' attribute matches the bare JID portion of the element's 'from' attribute (i.e., a JID MUST NOT be allowed to add itself to its own roster). Therefore I was looking into adding some exceptions to handle the own JID in the roster, or better explained as adding a fake jid to the roster view in the client. I got a bit distracted with other stuff, and just recently started again working on that. now I just looked again to the in the latest revision, 20, of the RFC, and I read this now: Interoperability Note: Some servers return a stanza error to the client if the value of the element's 'jid' attribute matches the bare JID of the user's account. So I should understand this statement now as: Servers should generally allow the client user to add the own JID to the roster, this is no error anymore. Only older server implementations may not allow adding the own jid. If my understanding is right, then this would make my life much more easier since I don't need to implement exceptions for the own jid. cheers, Sebastian
