Description Simon McVittie 2009-11-23 14:00:15 UTC
When I try to send a file from Gabble 0.9.2-1 (and Empathy) in Debian to Pidgin 2.5.4 in Windows, each participant's UI claims to be waiting for the other, and I get this Gabble debug log (slightly anonymized, but the JID in googlemail.com is the recipient and the JID in pseudorandom.co.uk is me):

It looks as though either Wocky or the code in Gabble that interacts with Wocky is failing to match the sent message to the reply, perhaps because it has added an ID to the <si> and (wrongly?) expects the reply to have that ID, rather than the ID of the <iq>.

My status at the time was hidden, in case that's significant.
Comment 1 Vivek Dasmohapatra 2009-11-26 11:53:34 UTC
That message (spoofed reply) crops up when the recipient registered in the 
handler does not match (as per wocky_strdiff) the 'from' attribute of the 
IQ reply.

The SI ID is weird, but wocky is actually finding a handler in its lookup table
so I don't think it's a contributory factor.

Just trying to reproduce the bug now to see if I can figure out what's going
on, file transfers from empathy -> libpurple working here (not tried a gtalk
account yet).

The status is unlikely to be significant, but the exact content of the from/to
attributes is.
Comment 2 Vivek Dasmohapatra 2009-11-26 12:16:37 UTC
File transfers worked in both directions between gtalk-account-on-libpurple and jabber-account-on-telepathy-gabble

Aha! I think I know what's going on, then: some of the instances of the recipient's JID were in mixed-case, others weren't. You can probably reproduce this by typing in ExAmPlE@test.collabora.co.uk (or something) as your JID in Pidgin?
Comment 4 Vivek Dasmohapatra 2009-11-27 07:05:15 UTC
Right. We now normalise our copy of the recipient JID on the way out 
and if the comparison fails on the way in, we normalise the sender and
try the comparison again.

(Actually a wocky bug since gabble no longer handles that logic itself)

Comment 5 Vivek Dasmohapatra 2009-11-27 09:02:23 UTC
Fix merged into wocky, Gabble updated.
