How to perform TLS handshaking with SASL using DIGEST-MD5 mechanism

sylver — 2012-03-15T07:14:37

Hi,

I've been trying to use xmpp4moz to connect to my facebook account,
and realized that facebook uses SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism.

I've setup my connection host and port correctly, yet I always's get
"XMPP: Error during authentication".

This article (http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html#tls) mentioned that
there's a few steps need to be performed in order to perform TLS/SASL
authentication succefully, including decoding and encoding some base64
info.

So, is there a function in xmpp4moz that can handle the handshake
process? Or do I have to create my own listeners and respond
accordingly?

Feel free to let me know if I'm looking at this in a wrong way :D

Best,
Sylver

Re: How to close "connecting" session on Mac OSX

sylver — 2010-05-26T02:38:04

Just some codes cleanup :D The setInterval in above post seems
irrelevant.

===============================================

var interval;

channel.on({event:'connector', state:'disconnected'},
  function(e){
    interval = setInterval(function(){
      reconnect();
    }, 2000);
});

function reconnect(){
  //if im connecting , stop connecting <-- how to do?

 XMPP.up(jid, function(){ //this works fine in windows, but OSX seems
to ignore multiple XMPP.up()?
  clearInterval(interval );
  return;
 });

}

How to close "connecting" session on Mac OSX

sylver — 2010-05-25T07:21:13

Hi,

How can I close "connecting" session on Mac OSX? I'm trying to make a
reconnect function than tries to reconnect

Code:
===========

channel.on({event:'connector', state:'disconnected'},
  function(e){
    reconnect(); //will loop
});

function reconnect(){
  //if im connecting , stop connecting <-- how to do?

 XMPP.up(jid, function(){ //this works fine in windows, but OSX seems
to ignore multiple XMPP.up()?
  clearInterval(interval );
  return;
 });

 var interval = setInterval(function(){
  reconnect();
 }, 2000);
}

Thanks :D

Re: How to get "actual" resource from JID

sylver — 2010-04-28T02:18:18

Hi Sonny, Thanks for bringing that up :D

I did some testing and these are my results:

Format : <original resource> ==> <after xmpp4moz added some chars>
lu ==> lu335C6C3E
ThisResourceIsLong ==> ThisResour543A3C91
ThisResourceIsEvenLonger ==> ThisResour031D14AD
lukewarm ==> lukewarm211CE668

Another friend of mine suggested to get the "to" value, in the <iq>
roster reply stanza. I'll do that for now :D

I've never noticed that x4m append chars to the resource.

Maybe x4m do it because you are already connected with the resource "luke" ?

How to get "actual" resource from JID

sylver — 2010-04-27T03:15:28

Hi,

For login, I've set my account object like so:

account = XMPP.accounts;
account.jid = "star-2OxmpI07eQs< at >public.gmane.org/luke";
account.password = "lucas";

But during chat session, and by looking at XMPP console, I notice that
X4M append 8 more chars to my resource, making it looking like so:

"star-2OxmpI07eQs< at >public.gmane.org/lukeAC5D5EFA"

My question is, is there a function in X4M that returns
"lukeAC5D5EFA" ?

If not, then my next move will be to listen to an incoming message,
grab the "to" value, and then grab the resource. But that sounds quite
a lot to do :D

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :D

Re: STARTTLS?

Hellekin O. Wolf — 2010-02-27T07:09:55

*** STARTTLS is supported on port 5222.

Tested with Firefox 3.5.8 against sameplace.cc (eJabberd?) and Psyced.

The latest mention of STARTTLS:
http://github.com/bard/sameplace/commit/d6f5f8bd71a8d52d21bc696d0e1951ede824a031
says it's no longer default because of a problem with Firefox. But it
worked for me with an existing PSYC account and a new XMPP account.

Also, the wizard interface doesn't switch port when STARTTLS is
selected, you have to do it manually.

Hope that helps,

STARTTLS?

stpeter — 2010-02-27T03:47:33

Does SamePlace support STARTTLS on port 5222 for an encrypted
connection, or only the legacy SSL-only port 5223?

Re: Re: Is new version of xmpp4moz compatible with firefox 3.6 planned?

Massimiliano Mirra — 2010-01-26T12:43:23

The devel branch is compatible with 3.6 already, I'm just not rushing
to release an updated package since it's not meant for the general
public anyway.  I suggest you work from the source at
http://github.com/bard/sameplace, "master" branch.

Hi all, I've just realized that this new version doesn't come with the
javascript module as the development version (available  at
http://repo.hyperstruct.net/xmpp4moz/devel/ ) did.
Is this to be back compatible with firefox 2.0? Since my extension
uses a lot those js module I was wondering if the version of xmpp4moz
based on those module will be upgraded to be compatible with Firefox
3.6 or if it's development will be dismissed.

From sameplace.cc, some times ago because I saw it was already

was (at that time) a bit behind.

Hi all, i'm a developing an firefox addon that relies on this fantastc
lib to perform all the xmpp operation I need. I already changed the
rdf file inside the xpi to extend the compatibility up to firefox 3.6
and so far everything worked just fine ( i perform an intensive
one2one message exchanging inside my addon).
I was wondering if I have to keep editing the rdf by myself or, if an
update will be available soon.
tnx in advance

Re: Forgotten variables issue in Firefox?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. My replies below...

Yes. I'm not using this in an overlay though, so it is just my

I might have mentioned too that I'm importing "debug" from a JavaScript 
module into the global scope (or rather, I'm using a loader to load a 
script into the global scope which in turn both imports a JavaScript

there's a problem in there...

Re: Forgotten variables issue in Firefox?

Marco Pivetta — 2009-12-30T08:34:55

Since Javascript 2 is science-fiction for now, I could suggest you tu place
all your libraries inside some kind of "package".
Just define

* MyLibObj = {
  mycustomfunc : function () { /*blah*/ },
  debug : function (m) { alert(m); }
 }*

That way your "debug" function will not be overwritten, as it is too
difficult to find a software that uses and defines another time "MyLibObj".
This way you also avoid scope pollution :)
If you really made some function called "debug" it's easy to get in conflict
with other software using a function/var called the same way...
Just place MyLibObj in your window scope and you can use it almost anywhere
:)

Forgotten variables issue in Firefox?

Brett Zamir — 2009-12-30T07:48:58

Since xmpp4moz uses a lot of handlers or objects being passed around, I 
was wondering if anyone else has encountered Firefox occasionally 
apparently forgetting variables which were in its scope at the time of 
function definition? I'm not encountering this in xmpp4moz now, but 
thought I'd ask here before fishing around Firefox lists, since I'd 
imagine users here might have encountered this...

Do object references (as opposed to copies) ever "expire" if they are 
passed around too much (e.g., if called/applied in a different 'this' 
scope)? I really don't think I'm making copies so I don't see how this 
information could get lost, and I have seen this work a lot of the time, 
but it periodically does give me errors about such variables being 
undefined...

For example, I'm adding observers like:

var debug = function (m) {alert(m);};

obj.addObservers({
     action1 : function () {
         debug('warning'); // Debug should be in scope but I sometimes 
get errors saying debug is undefined
     }
     act

Bug in Socket.jsm

Brett Zamir — 2009-12-29T08:58:16

Hi,

In Socket.jsm, line 298 uses destructured assignment from a regular 
expression.

     var [match, code] = response.match(/^HTTP\/1.\d (\d{3})/);

However, if this returns null (as I did when the response was 
"</stream:stream>" due to an error, the assignment causes an error (it 
doesn't just assign to the first variable match). I believe you need to 
either put this in a try-catch block or avoid destructured assignment, 
as nice as it would be to do it that way...

best wishes,
Brett

XMPPTCPConnector error

Alberto — 2009-10-27T15:14:21

Hi all, I'm deploying a firefox extension that use intensively xmpp
and the best solution I found out there was relying on xmpp4moz. Since
I'm a linux developer I had no problem until I tested my application
on windows. On the Microsoft OS (both Vista and XP) sometimes I got
the following error:
Error: Invalid state' when calling method:
[nsISAXContentHandler::endElement]" nsresult: "0x8057001c happening in
the XMPPTCPConnector.prototype.onDataAvailable function (line 367).
When this happens the first time,it will keep happening every
following login.
Anyone can help me out?
Thanks in advance
