Hi all, I am working on this issue and have some questions. Can the
xmpp:restart body be non-empty? For example, emite sends the bind
request within the body containing xmpp:restart.

If the answer to the previous question is yes, would it be correct to
include both stream features and the bind result in the same response
body?

Unfortunately the XEP is not clear about that.

So let's make it clear. :)

In my implementations the CM's forwards the enclosed payload to the new
stream. I think it should be safe to assume a successful
reinitialization of the new stream and thus allow a non-empty body with
the xmpp-restart behaviour.

That seems reasonable. IMHO it is unlikely that the stream restart will fail (see rfc3920bis). But see below.

The response should contain the stream features plus results of the
request if any (although I'm aware of the fact that maybe a stream bind
has been tried without the according stream feature given). I'd say it's
up to you (the client) to handle this situation. If you don't want to
take the risk, don't do it.

Right, it's possible that the server won't advertise support for resource binding (or whatever). So the most careful approach would be to wait for the server to sends its features, then negotiate whatever is required. But that means an extra round trip.

I don't have a strong feeling about this, but I'd like to clearly specify it in the XEP.

Seeing no further discussion, I suggest that we change the spec as follows:

   Upon receiving the <success/> element, the client MUST then ask
   the connection manager to restart the stream. It does this by
   setting to "true" the 'xmpp:restart' attribute (qualified by the
   'urn:xmpp:xbosh' namespace) of the BOSH <body/> element. When
   sending the restart request, the client SHOULD also include the
   'to' and 'xml:lang' attributes. In addition the <body/> SHOULD
   be empty (if the client includes an XML stanza in the body, the
   connection manager might send that stanza when the stream is
   restarted, but there is no guarantee that a connection manager
   will do so).

Objections?

Peter
