I also love that, to connect to a XMPP server, a client needs to use SRV. Which AFAIK cannot be queried via gethostbyname, getaddrinfo, or any other standard interface. So you need to pull in a nonstandard resolver library, or to fork off `host`.
With that said, John I'm very happy to report that thanks to your library I've been developing an XMPP client for months and have yet to even see any XML.
- claudius 13y agoRequiring SRV essentially allows things like hosted.im to work – using a SRV record for a specific subdomain is probably better than putting in new record types for every protocol cropping up (cf. MX). The fact that SRV records cannot be queried using standard libraries is likely more of a deficiency in the libraries rather than the protocol. That said, thanks a lot for git-annex & the assistant =)
