OK, it's not a big deal to use redirects on clients, we can move that
part on front-end servers, such as nginx. So I have a question about
cookies: is it ok to use them? Are there any problems with them?
Should we add a note about them in the XEP? It would be great to push
some state in the cookies to avoid state sharing across the cluster.
Also, a front-end can use them to make route decision without asking
the back-end (XMPP server).
Hum, in the XEP-0124 there are some notes about cookies:
1) BOSH can address the needs of constrained clients by employing
fully-compliant HTTP 1.0 without the need for "cookies" or even access
to HTTP headers.
2) Clients are not required to have programmatic access to the headers
of each HTTP request and response (e.g., cookies or status codes).
3) Requiring cookies is sub-optimal because several significant
computing platforms provide only limited access to underlying HTTP
requests/responses; worse, some platforms hide or remove cookie-related
headers.
Not sure what that means.
