Description ljtirazona 2011-07-11 23:22:04 UTC
I'm using Openfire as the XMPP Server. I have a MotD plugin for it, and Empathy rejects the message from the server. Pidgin and Spark do not reject the message.
I've found out that it is because gabble identifies the jid of the server as invalid.



The following is the sanitized debug log: (Words in {} are sanitized.)

gabble/jid-DEBUG: Tuesday, 12 July, 2011 11:30:27.126004: gabble_normalize_contact (util.c:557): JID {SERVER NAME} is invalid or has no node part
gabble/im-DEBUG: Tuesday, 12 July, 2011 11:30:27.126151: im_factory_message_cb: ignoring message node from malformed jid:
* message xmlns='jabber:client' to='{USER}@{SERVER NAME}/c3b8c6af' from='{SERVER NAME}'
    * subject
        "Message of the Day"
    * body
        "Some experimental feature tests will be implemented in the next few days, please prepare for some service restarts or interruption.

This is closely related to part of bug 26696. The debug message is misleading—Gabble doesn't support contacts with JIDs which don't have a node part, partly to reduce the risk of trying to add 'helen.love' (rather than 'helen.love@server.com') to their roster and not understanding why it doesn't work. And we don't have a good alternative API to expose messages from the server at present.
