Remove ambiguity with regards to having more than one connection to a remote domain. With this update, each actual (eg TCP) connection is represented by a distinct `connection` element.
Following discussion with Flow, MattJ and Jonas`, the data format was modified to: - group connections under a remote domain - use attributes instead of elements where appropriate
|
I have added commits that refactor the data format, per feedback from in the JDev room. |

@ThomasLeister: Have you seen @guusdk ProtoXEP? EDIT 2024-01-25: |
|
@Neustradamus yes, @guusdk and I have been writing yesterday on Mastodon ;-) |
The XEP now mandates to include domain names of remote domains only after those remote domains advertise support for this XEP. This is intended as an opt-in mechanism.
|
Dear @guusdk: "ProtoXEP: PubSub Server Information" ticket created for: |
Instead of basing Discovery of Support on the presence of a well-known pub-sub service node, an explicit Service Discovery feature is used. This prevents a scenario in which a non-administrative user flags 'opt-in' by creating the pub-sub node.
|
I have added commits that refactor service discovery and address privacy concerns, per feedback from the JDev room. |
XEP-0157 specifies the 'serverinfo' form, XEP-0128 just uses it as example. Co-authored-by: Florian Schmaus <flo@geekplace.eu>
As per Flow's suggestion, replace two data form fields that hold a pub-sub service address and node with one field, that uses a URI to identify the same pub-sub node.

Thanks all devs who have added the ProtoXEP support. |
|
@Neustradamus Please keep the comments clean from this sort of noise that's unrelated to getting the protoXEP published. |
|
This needs to be version 0.0.1, not 1.0.0 |
|
(I've been pushing commits myself to branches to turn e.g. 1.3 into 1.0.0, but I don't want a commit making it 1.0.0 and then another reverting to 0.0.1, could you fix please Guus) |
|
Done |
|
Bother, I should have checked the commit history before I merged, that's the 'change the version in its own commit' that I didn't want. |

This ProtoXEP has now a number: XEP-0485: PubSub Server Information |

This defines a data format and a pub-sub based way of distributing data that describes an XMPP domain and its connections to federated domains.
My direct purpose of drafting this specification is to document the data format used to populate the XMPP network graph that, at the time of writing, is hosted at https://xmppnetwork.goodbytes.im/
