This is inspired by the version from macdiesel and tomstrummer, but
their version was heavily linked with XEP-0096 and focused solely
on file transfer. This version is a more generic implementation.
Added new example for how to retrieve a Google token, following
the best case, non-browser, workflow. Other thirdparty auth
mechs (Facebook, MSN) follow a similar pattern of using an
access token.
This is mainly just useful for authenticating without using TLS.
If an access token is not provided, an attempt will be made to
retrieve one from Google.
Silently substituting the password field was nice, but for mechs
that can use either the password or an access token, it makes
things very difficult. This really only affects MSN clients since
Facebook clients should already be setting the api key.
This requires an extra credential for SASL authentication:
xmpp = ClientXMPP('user@chat.facebook.com', '...access_token...')
xmpp.credentials['api_key'] = '...api_key...'
The parsing and namespace cleaning isn't terribly expensive, but it does
add up. It was adding an extra 5sec when processing 100,000 basic
message stanzas.
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.
As part of adding this feature:
- fixed bug in update_caps() not assigning verstrings
- fixed xep_0004 typo
- can now use None as a roster key which will map to boundjid.bare
- fixed using JID objects in disco node handlers
- fixed failing test related to get_roster
Several of these bugs I've fixed before, so I either didn't push them
earlier, or I clobbered something when merging. *shrug*
