Re: [Standards] XEP-0191 leads to stale presence?

2019-06-21 Thread Philipp Hörist
Hi,

The section means, my server sends my presence to the now unblocked
contact. Yes this would look like im coming online to the contact.
But this does not solves the problem that i dont have current presence
information about the unblocked contact.
The server sending my presence to the contact does not lead to getting
up-to-date presence information of the contact back.

So if you follow the XEP, you end up with stale presence of the unblocked
contact.

Regards
Philipp

mea culpa

So, section 3.4 User Unblocks JID, paragraph last-1:

"When the user unblocks communications with a JID, the user's server MUST send 
the user's current presence information to the JID (but only if the JID is 
allowed to receive presence notifications from the user in accordance with the 
rules defined in RFC 3921)."

It doesn't explicitly say to probe, but 'current presence' should imply sending 
one if necessary..? It would be the same as initially coming online.

Though there's nothing wrong with being more explicit.

I think you misunderstood what Kim meant.

Its about unblocking, so you are obviously again interested in presence, the 
XEP does not mention the client or server should send a probe because the 
presence is stale

If you block a contact, presumably that means you don't want them to see your

In that case, presence going stale is unimportant (shouldn't be shown anyway?), 
and any kind of probes would be considered a leak.

There may be a small case for still viewing their presence for spying purposes, 
but I'm not sure it's worth the extra complication.

[Possibly worth contrasting with XEP-0186 (Invisible Command) where you would 
still want to view presence.]

Subject: [Standards] XEP-0191 leads to stale presence?

Hi,

While working on a fix for Prosodys XEP-0191 implementation¹ regarding
presence sent to a blocked JID to pretend that the blocking user is
offline, and then re-send presence again if they unblock.

However, since if you block someone, your view of their presence will
become stale. The XEP does not say anything about this. Is it implied
that the server should send a presence probe or otherwise try to do
something about that?
