[jdev] Re: Two questions regarding JEP-0124 HTTP Binding

[Guus der Kinderen]

According to the JEP, a user can optionally supply a 'route' attribute 
to setup a proxy connection. The user will have to supply an XMPP IRI to 
do so.

An XMPP IRI can optionally hold an authority component and/or a node 
identifier (see section 2.3 of 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-xmpp-iri-02.txt ).

While handling the route attribute, should the authority component of 
the IRI be used or ignored?

What's the suggested result when the IRI holds no node identifier? 
Should the route attribute be silently ignored, or should an error 
(improper-addressing seems suitable) be thrown? Is it safe to try to use 
the authority component address as an last-resort solution in such a case?
