XEP-0066 receiving support

[singpolyma]

General information

• Version: 1.15.0
• Device: Blackberry Q10
• Server name: self hosted
• Server software: Prosody 0.9.1
• Conversations source: F-Droid

Steps to reproduce

1. Open XML console in Gajim
2. Paste this:

<message to="singpolyma@singpolyma.net/q10" type="chat">
   <x xmlns='jabber:x:oob'>
      <url>https://singpolyma.net/avatar-big.jpg</url>
   </x>
</message>

Expected result

I expect to get a picture message in my Conversations. Instead I get nothing.

@singpolyma Why would you need that?

[singpolyma]

@mimi89999 for a message that has an image but no accompanying text?

[mimi89999]

@singpolyma Which XMPP client parses them like that (because I suppose you aren't normally writting XML in the Gajim console).

[singpolyma]

@mimi89999 Gajim happily supports this format

I'd like to use this XEP as one of the ways I do file transfers from a gateway component.

I suggest you put the URL in the body as well. This will trigger the desired behavior in Conversations.

[singpolyma]

Yes, that is the hack we are using for now, but it produces less nice behaviour in other clients (who show the URL as a text message) and also means we cannot include text along with an image in the same message.

For the record (because I saw this on https://wiki.soprani.ca/ClientIssues) Conversations supports this now as well.
