[jdev] New Yahoo Transport, Bug #4450

Thu May 19 18:06:44 CDT 2005

Are there any plans to release an updated version of the New Yahoo
Transport? Bug #4450 [1] causes messages sent through the gateway to 
not be displayed in at least two Jabber clients that I know of, due to 
the inclusion of a composing cancellation with the message body, such 
as the following example I captured today:

<message from='some-yahoo-user at yahoo.somejabberserver.domain' 
         to='stpeter at jabber.org/roundabout' type='chat'>
  <body>reply</body>
  <x xmlns='jabber:x:event'><id>ABCD</id></x>
</message>

The XML <x xmlns='jabber:x:event'><id>ABCD</id></x> is a composing
cancellation event and does not belong in a message containing a body.

I grant that JEP-0022 is not as clear as it could be on this point (yet
another reason to scrap JEP-0022 in favor of JEP-0085 if you ask me), 
but this behavior is contrary to the spec.

Thanks!

Peter
