If calling disconnect() from a non-threaded event handler, deadlock can
happen as disconnect() is waiting for threads to close, but the event
runner is blocked by a handler waiting for disconnect() to return.
It is best to specify threaded=True for event handlers which may call
disconnect().
- Add option for disconnecting without sending </stream>:
self.disconnect(send_close=False)
- Optionally distinguish between session_end and disconnected based
on if </stream> was sent.
self.end_session_on_disconnect = False
Added option to XMLStream.send() to skip applying filters.
Filters in the out_sync group are synced with placing stanza content
either on the wire directly or into the send queue. Because of this,
out_sync filters should not block.
Setting self.reconnect_max_attempts to a non-None value will limit
the number of times a connection attempt will be made before quiting
and raising a 'connection_failed' event.
The payload is a dictionary of parsed cert data, as provided by
Python's getpeercert() socket method. It unfortunately does not
provide much detail beyond basic info.
Based on profiling, using around 35 stream handlers quarters the number
of basic message stanzas that can be processed in a second, in
comparison to only using the bare minimum of four handlers.
To help, we can drop handlers for stream features once the session
has started. So that we can re-enable these handlers when a stream
must restart, the 'stream_start' event has been added which fires
whenever a stream header is received.
The 'stream_start' event is a more generic replacement for the
existing start_stream_handler() method.
This allows applications to filter out sensitive information, such
as passwords, so that it won't appear in the logs.
It does mean that the debug logs will not show the actual received
data, and there will be no indication of tampering, unless the
filter author explicitly logs and notes that a change was made.
A filter accepts and returns a stanza, but potentially modified.
To prevent sending/receiving a stanza, a filter may return None.
Incoming:
self.add_filter('in', in_filter)
Outgoing:
self.add_filter('out', out_filter)
Filters are applied in the order thay are added. However, you may
add an order parameter, which is the place in the list to insert the
filter:
self.add_filter('in', in_filter, order=0)
May set self.disconnect_wait=True so that all disconnect
calls wait for the send queue to empty, unless explicitly
overridden with wait=False.
The session_end now fires before closing the socket so
that final stanzas may be sent, such as unavailable presences
for components.
Calling reconnect() simultaneously from multiple threads (like when
using XEP-0199 keepalive) could break because the connection state
can transition and break the state expectations in one of the
reconnect() calls.
