-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi Ian,
Yes I figured after sending the last email that it might be confusing on what I'm trying to do :). Here goes. I'm currently working on the Irssi OTR module and I added a command to forget a given fingerprint. So either the user does the command within the chat window where for this case I have access to the OTR context so no need to pass a fingerprint to the command or the user specifies the human readable form of the fingerprint. (available fingerprints can be listed using an other command.) With the later, the only thing I have is the string fingerprint (fp) so, for now, the only solution I came up with is to iterate over all OTR contexts of the user state for which I iterate over all fps and try to match the fp using the otrl_privkey_hash_to_human() and, on match, using otrl_context_find_fingerprint() for the fp object pointer. Once getting this pointer, I have to check to see if this fp is NOT in an ENCRYPTED context before forgetting it. Here lies my problem, the fp->context always point to the m_context which does not indicates me the right message state. For now, I've fixed my problem by returning back the context of the fp previously found with otrl_context_find_fingerprint() but I guess I should be able to access all associated context(s) of the fp and make sure it's safe to forget it? I guess, iterating on them starting with m_context->next ? TBH, I'm just confused on how to proceed safely. Hope this is clearer :) Thanks a lot!
