What about XEP-156? For web-only clients that don't have DNS
access, they can usually have the polling URL configured in, and
for desktop clients, they can look up a TXT record to figure out
where to poll.
Why do we have to hard-code a path?
I think the intention here is that web-only clients need the URL
hard-coded in, and the argument is that because this is often less
than intuitive, it'd be useful if the vast majority of BOSH
implementations listened to, and expected, the same path.
The thing is, my understanding is that for typical "real"
deployments, the path is reverse proxied by a "real" webserver
anyway, so I wonder how much work we're saving here.
Finally, I'd just like to say U-NAPTR. Just to see the looks of
horror.
