[alandrees]

Allow for in-band account registration as per:
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.html

Thanks for the request. I've added it to the 0.4.0 release milestone, 0.3.0 should be out as soon as the final bug is fixed.

The XMPP library profanity uses doesn't support in-band registration for security reasons, but I can see this as a useful feature, I imagine there are plenty of private servers out there that allow it.

Any progresss on Xep77?

Is it available now?

This issue seems to be very old but would be really useful. Does someone plan to implement it in profanity one day ?

"The XMPP library profanity uses doesn't support in-band registration for security reasons" what security reasons ?

libstrophe has example of in-band registration: https://github.com/strophe/libstrophe/blob/master/examples/register.c . I've used that to register users on my test server. Good implementation also requires support of forms. The example can be a starting point for profanity.

eight year old issue, add wehennn????

@binex-dsk we waited 8 years for the chosen one to appear. The issue is quite hard and only a very special person with unlimited access to the timestream can solve it.
We are delighted that the chosen one finally appears, it is you!

Now that you have found your purpose in life we estimate that you will solve this issue by next week. Please hurry up and create a PR.

Hi what is this a joke or is this serious sorry i am unable to tell because autism funny

though i suppose it would finally be an excuse to do some C stuff but then I'd also have to learn to do xmpp stuff

[jubalh]

Just give your best!

[binex-dsk]

well i could if this had documentation for how to add commands and actually do stuff

[jubalh]

You need to check git log or look here for PRs that add commands. Then you can see how others did it before you. But you did a good job for a start! Seems our waiting time was worth it!

[binex-dsk]

yea I just checked the PRs and logs for how commands were added. Some stuff i wasnt sure about but it looks to be working (minus the SIGABRT)

[jubalh]

/register command has been added by @binex-dsk.
