Gajim will not connect if websocket URI is incorrect nbxmpp.addresses: Invalid websocket uri:

Edit: I just found this. May be related / already resolved ?

Client: Gajim Version: 1.3.0-beta2 Server: ejabberd 21.01

Preface: Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Issue: It seems if an XMPP domain has a TXT record for _xmppconnect to some websocket URI and this URI somehow does not work we abandon all connection attempts even if SRV records for _xmpp-client._tcp _xmpps-client._tcp exist and are valid.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set up ejabberd 21.01, pass 100% in XMPP Compliance Tester EXCEPT for XEP-0156.
  2. Create TXT record for the domain pointing to server's websocket URI. Do not do anything further about XEP-1056.
  3. Test that websocket URI works OK in browser (valid SSL cert, no firewall issues etc).
  4. Ask Gajim to connect to the account with auto-discovery. No manual connection parameters given.

Expected behavior:

This is where I hesitated to file this as a bug. Maybe there is an RFC that dictates that if a websocket connection is available it should trump everything else and be used ?! Decided to file anyway because other clients like dino and conversations are not effected.

It should use _xmpp-client._tcp and _xmpps-client._tcp SRV records to discover the best way to connect and successfully connect.

Actual behavior:

After "nbxmpp.addresses" reports "Invalid websocket uri" all connection attempts cease. User can manually specify hostname and TLS/SSL ports to connect but auto discovery no longer works.
