Hi,

I’m trying to use SMACK for http file upload against ejabberd:

           HttpFileUploadManager manager = HttpFileUploadManager.getInstanceFor(connection);

            Slot slot = manager.requestSlot("test1.jpg", 10000);

returned stanza:

<iq xml:lang='en' to='bob@xxx.yyy.org/mobile' from='upload.xxx.yyy.org' type='result' id='HLvqO-26'><slot xmlns='urn:xmpp:http:upload:0'><get url='https://xxx.yyy.org:5444/upload/2dfea790d3d7eb3c7fee39c7b648e23fc984410b/MuSjWQLqSVMLhzSynw0x4NImKxJvKipvuVR3s3eI/test1.jpg'/><put url='https://xxx.yyy.org:5444/upload/2dfea790d3d7eb3c7fee39c7b648e23fc984410b/MuSjWQLqSVMLhzSynw0x4NImKxJvKipvuVR3s3eI/test1.jpg'/></slot></iq>

But SMACK throws:

Any ideas ?

SMACK version: 4.2.2
ejabberd : 17.12.

Thanks,

Looks like you run into SMACK-790.

Thanks for your reply !

Any workarounds ? We must have the ability to send files in our app (without both parties online of course)

Or any estimation on when this will be fixed (it’s very critical to us) ?

Thanks again,

You can always use a nightly unique snapshot build from igniterealtime.org/repo which includes the fix.

thanks ! can I also use the binaries at https://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/nightly_smack.jsp ?

From which date is the fix included ?
