[jdev] spoofing "from" attributes

Mon Feb 21 18:45:30 CST 2005

Hi, I'm trying to write a component allowing to send messages using 
webservices. Since I don't want to open a different xmpp stream for any 
possible caller of the service, I'd like to have a component, called 
soap, able of sending messages with arbitrary from attributes.

I'm using the latest jabberd 2.x, and I try to send a stanza like this 
one from a componet bound as 'soap':

<route to='user1 at serverA'
   xmlns='http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/ns/component/1.0'
   from='soap'>
   <message to='user1 at serverA' xmlns='jabber:client'
     from='user2 at serverB'>
     <body> ciao </body>
   </message>
</route>

If this is sent to a local user (serverA==serverB) the messages is 
correctly delivered, but when it is sent to a different host I receive 
this error message:

<route to='soap'
   xmlns='http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/ns/component/1.0'
   from='s2s'>
   <message to='user2 at serverB' xmlns='jabber:client'
     from='userA at jabber.linux.it' type='error'>
     <error code='503' type='cancel'>
       <service-unavailable 
xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
     </error>
     <body> ciau </body>
   </message>
</route>

Any suggestion?
Thanks
