Isn't that the kind of thing that should be in the XMPP specs somewhere? 10:32:02 * aleth also suspects it's invalid. If you are running two instances, give them different resource names yourself, but they should persist afaik 10:35:47 <MMN-o> aleth: Yes, _if_ one assigns an explicit resource that resource should persist. 10:36:07 <MMN-o> aleth: However defaulting to something so simple that it will collide if you have multiple computers is likely to cause confusion and frustration with users 10:37:02 <MMN-o> aleth: There's no rule on what the resource should be in the XMPP spec, only suggestions that you can use it as a "Home" resource and a "Work" resource. 10:37:36 <MMN-o> flo-retina: Consider the average user who has a laptop and a stationary computer. Both running, say, Thunderbird. 10:38:22 <MMN-o> flo-retina: If this user sets up chat on both computers, they must be 1. aware of what the "Resource" field actually means, 2. aware that it can't collide, 3. understand WHY your client hops in and out every couple of seconds 10:38:41 <Mic> 3. is a bug imo 10:38:47 <MMN-o> point 3 not being very obvious unless you're staring at them both at the same time (or with me having access to server logs) 10:39:52 <MMN-o> So as I wrote in the report, _default_ should be random assigning on client startup. (security-related as well as avoiding collisions) 10:40:25 <MMN-o> but manually assigning a resource name should of course save it until changed again or erased. 10:41:00 <MMN-o> Easiest way of doing it would be just having an empty resource field, and if it's empty assign the volatile variable with a random string. 10:41:11 <flo-retina> MMN-o: I'm pretty sure the spec says that the client suggests a resource and the the server then assigns a resource based on the client's suggestion. It's the server's task to avoid collisions 10:41:41 <flo-retina> MMN-o: which server is causing a problem with resource collisions for you? 10:41:48 <MMN-o> flo-retina: Prosody 10:42:05 <instantbot> aleth@instantbird.org cancelled review?(clokep@gmail.com) for attachment 2224 on bug 1680. 10:42:06 <instantbot> aleth@instantbird.org requested review from clokep@gmail.com for attachment 2225 on bug 1680. 10:42:07 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1680 enh, --, ---, aleth, ASSI, Enable "minimize on startup" 10:42:08 <Mic> Couldn't the "resource string changes at beginning of a new session"-behaviour be a possible privacy issue? 10:42:15 <MMN-o> Feb 08 10:12:58 c2sb11f860 debug Destroying session for mmn@hethane.se/Thunderbird (mmn@hethane.se): Replaced by new connection 10:42:45 <flo-retina> I really don't think random resource ids are a good idea 10:42:57 <MMN-o> Mic: I'm happy with just about any behaviour as long as one doesn't get collisions 10:42:58 <flo-retina> aren't they meant to let people identify each computer? 10:43:54 --> gerard-majax_ has joined #instantbird 10:44:11 <flo-retina> MMN-o: see http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html#bind 10:44:23 <flo-retina> especially "A server that supports resource binding MUST be able to generate a resource identifier on behalf of a client. A resource identifier generated by the server MUST be unique for that <node@domain>." 10:44:29 <MMN-o> flo-retina: Yes, they can absolutely be used for that. I _personally_ wouldn't mind just having like "Thunderbird-%s" where %s is the hostname 10:44:29 * aleth always dislikes specializing to a pref branch for some reason 10:45:08 <Mic> MMN-o: if flo is right and the server should avoid collisions, shouldn't we rather file a bug with them? 10:45:16 <MMN-o> flo-retina: Ah, so if the client doesn't request a specific resource? 10:45:47 <flo-retina> MMN-o: "Once the server has generated a resource identifier for the client or accepted the resource identifier provided by the client, it MUST return an IQ stanza of type "result" to the client, which MUST include a <jid/> child element that specifies the full JID for the connected resource as determined by the server" 10:45:51 --> mpmc has joined #instantbird 10:46:22 <flo-retina> the only case in the spec that we may not handle correctly is a resource conflict that a (stupid) server isn't able to handle 10:46:36 <flo-retina> in that case, it's the new connection that should fail, the old one shouldn't get dropped. 10:46:37 <MMN-o> flo-retina: The specification actually says that the random-generating-logic should be on the serverside. Which I'm entirely ok with. ("If the client wishes to allow the server to generate the resource identifier on its behalf, it sends an IQ stanza of type "set" that contains an empty <bind/> element: " 10:46:43 <flo-retina> So it seems the server behavior you described is broken. 10:47:23 <MMN-o> flo-retina: What you're describing is the behaviour when a client _doesn't_ send a resource name. 10:47:27 <flo-retina> MMN-o: for what is worth, Google Talk randomizes the end of the resource id for each connection, and that's handled correctly by Instantbird 10:48:01 <flo-retina> MMN-o: have you seen the "A server SHOULD accept the resource identifier provided by the client, but MAY override it with a resource identifier that the server generates" sentence? ;) 10:48:34 <flo-retina> MMN-o: so in case of resource conflict, the server should either generate another resource identifier and send it to the client, OR send an error to the second client 10:48:42 <flo-retina> (not the first one) 10:49:24 <MMN-o> flo-retina: However it doesn't say that the server MUST override it. So replacing the connection is entirely correct. 10:49:32 <flo-retina> not at all 10:49:52 <flo-retina> hmm, well. It's not a specified behavior at least 10:49:54 <MMN-o> I'll spend some more time reading the context around it 10:50:02 <MMN-o> and see if I'm missing something 10:50:25 <flo-retina> MMN-o: anyway, I would be really curious to see which stanzas are received just before the connection gets closed 10:50:46 <flo-retina> I don't think we can usefully discuss this further until we have a debug log of what's actually causing one of your clients to be disconnected 10:51:38 <aleth> See http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html section 3 10:52:00 <aleth> "If there is already an active resource of the same name, the server MUST either (1) terminate the active resource and allow the newly-requested session, or (2) disallow the newly-requested session and maintain the active resource. Which of these the server does is up to the implementation, although it is RECOMMENDED to implement case #1." 10:52:34 <flo-retina> hmm 10:53:38 <aleth> Examples follow... 10:54:13 <MMN-o> I think this is most easily, and true to spec, resolved by not replacing an empty Resource and then accepting the new resource name from the server 10:54:29 <aleth> elsewhere: "You must be careful not to auto-reconnect with the older client, or you will have written the "dueling resources" bug." 10:55:13 <flo-retina> ok, so we need to handle that <conflict> tag in 2 different cases 10:55:38 <flo-retina> we could probably use the same algorithm that we use for conflicting IRC nicks 10:56:23 <flo-retina> ok, so bug 1874 isn't invalid, sorry :) 10:56:26 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1874 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, XMPP Resource collision should be avoided with random resource names 10:57:04 <MMN-o> This is my prosody.log http://pastebin.com/Sckr4PqL 10:57:26 <MMN-o> revealing my IP, JID and everything. Awesome. 10:57:28 <aleth> flo-retina: Don't we get presence info from other connected resources for the same account, os one can avoid the conflict?
