XEP-0156 (Discovering Alternative XMPP Connection Methods)
See original GitHub issueIf I have properly set up a BOSH server and configured my DNS to serve up a URL per XEP-0156 (e.g., koehn.com
), there’s no need to use a third-party connection manager. The system could check the DNS for a TXT
record at the XMPP host with text starting with _xmpp-client-xbosh
and use that as the connection manager.
Trouble is I’m not sure how you do a TXT
DNS resolution from the browser; you certainly could have a server-side component to do the discovery though, you’d just have to have a standard API to send the user’s JID and get back the connection manager to use. The server-side component could get the domain of the JID, check the XEP-0156 DNS entries, and return either a default connection manager or the one used by the domain.
