[jdev] jabber.org not conforming to JEP standards

[Chris Chen]

Hi,

I am just wondering if there are people who develop the server  
running on jabber.org know anything about this.

According to JEP-0078's jabber:iq:auth schema, there should only be 4  
child elements to the query -- username, password, digest, and  
resource, in that order.  However, I am doing some tests and tried to  
login on purpose with the wrong password.  Here is the result stanza  
that I get back from the jabber.org's server:

<iq id='frdn_1' type='error'><query  
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>blah</username><password>blah</ 
password><resource>Home</resource><connection_properties  
xmlns='http://www.jabber.com/schemas/connectionprops.xsd'><x  
type='submit' xmlns='jabber:x:data'><field  
var='FORM_TYPE'><value>http://www.jabber.com/schemas/ 
connectionprops.xsd</value></field><field type='text-single'  
var='peer-address'><value>xx.xx.xx.xx</value></field><field  
type='text-single' var='peer-port'><value>29364</value></field><field  
type='text-single' var='local-address'><value>xx.xx.xx.xx</value></ 
field><field type='text-single' var='local-port'><value>5222</value></ 
field><field type='text-single' var='peer-certificate'><value>----- 
BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</value></field></x></connection_properties></query><error  
code='401'>Unauthorized</error></iq>


The username, password, and IPs have been marked out, but the xml  
structure is as is.  Notice that the result stanza has an additional  
<connection_properties/> tacked onto the IQ <query> stanza.   
According to JEP-0078, this is wrong.

So i am wondering why it is even there and being sent back to the  
user.  It does not conform to JEP-0078 nor the XMPP specs.

Thanks,
Chris
