Also regarding errors, I just noticed the XEP states: "Queued stanzas
MUST be bounced back to the respective senders with a
<remote-server-timeout/> stanza error". Wouldn't
remote-server-not-found make more sense?
remote-server-not-found implies that the remote server does not exist,
i.e. a dns lookup failed. I don't think it should be used when you
successfully established a tcp connection to that host.
and saying you got a timeout is better? :)
A timeout implies "try again" - see the error descriptions and
associated types in the latest 3920bis draft.
I view "remote-server-not-found" above TCP. If the remote server gave
"host-unknown" for example then I wouldn't consider that a timeout,
rather I really wasn't able to find the correct server to receive a
particular stanza - the remote server was not found (despite
successful TCP connection).
changing the error type might break things. At least if anybody uses
the error type (-:
Bouncing with remote-server-timeout on the originating server upon
receiving type=invalid is nonsense btw. This indicates a (huge) problem
on the originating server. internal-server-error seems most appropriate.
