| Improve the JavaScript XMPP implementation | | Improve & expand the JavaScript XMPP implementation | ||
| | | The JavaScript XMPP implementation included in Instantbird/Thunderbird works well, but is lacking some features. This project should include a variety of small and larger improvements to the XMPP protocol. Feature-parity with libpurple's XMPP implementation is one of the prerequisites for replacing it with the JavaScript implementation and is an end-goal of this project. Examples of new/missing features include: | ||
* Support for DNS SRV | |||
* Test coverage | |||
Students are expected to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A%22Chat%20Core%22%20component%3AXMPP&list_id=12883126 compile a list of bugs or unimplemented features] in the JavaScript XMPP code. | |||
