OK, it's not a big deal to use redirects on clients, we can move that part
on front-end servers, such as nginx. So I have a question about cookies: is
it ok to use them? Are there any problems with them? Should we add a note
about them in the XEP? It would be great to push some state in the cookies
to avoid state sharing across the cluster. Also, a front-end can use them to
make route decision without asking the back-end (XMPP server).
It won't work in practice: many clients will just ignore them.
That's the sort of thing that should be done by XMPP, not by BOSH. BOSH is
just a transport layer; it's another way of transporting the higher-level
XMPP protocol.
How that could be done by XMPP??? We don't even have <see-other-host/>
supported in the majority of clients even though that's XMPP core stuff.
New XEP will not change things: client developers just don't care about
scalability.
