[jdev] Opening stream element when TLS is not enabled

[Gaston Dombiak]

Hey all,

I've been reading the rfc3920 spec and I have a question about TLS. Section 
5.1.3 says:

"When a receiving entity that complies with this specification receives an 
initial stream header that includes the 'version' attribute set to a value 
of at least "1.0", after sending a stream header in reply (including the 
version flag), it MUST include a <starttls/> element (qualified by the 
'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls' namespace) along with the list of other 
stream features it supports."

While I was testing TLS & SASL support in Smack using ejabberd I found that 
if TLS was disabled on the server the opening stream element was still 
including the version=1.0 attribute. So I was wondering which would be the 
correct behavior of a server that implements XMPP 1.0 but for some 
"business" reason TLS needs to be disabled from the server side. Does the 
server still need to send version=1.0? Is there a way to say "Hey, I do 
support TLS but it is NOT enabled at the moment"?

Thanks,
