Attach meta data to message

[sualko]

I want to implement XEP-0184 (received notifications) and for that reason I have to attach an unique id to a sending message and bind it to the plaintext message. Now the problem, how can I do this with the current implementation?

{msg: "foo", id: "bar"}  -----> OTR.sendMsg()  -----> build xml stanza with id

Because I think there is no working solution, I added an extra parameter to the sendMsg method which will be passed through to the io event handler. What do you think about that? Are you interested in a pr?

OTR should be agnostic to the underlying transport protocol. What do you do in the case where it fragments the message?

I need to read up a bit about this XEP before commenting further. Not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish.

FYI, there's an implementation here: https://github.com/strophe/strophejs-plugins/blob/master/receipts/strophe.receipts.js

ps. Sorry for the slow replies; you caught me travelling.

The XEP defines a possibility to get receive notifications (interesting for mobile use) and for this you need a unique id in the message tag.

What do you do in the case where it fragments the message?

I didn't thought about that, but that should be easy to handle, because I could attach the plaintext message as meta data and save this together with the generated id.

I know this implementation, but it's crap and the XEP is not very complex.

Ok, yes, this sounds good. Please try to do it in a backwards compatible way.
