Link formatting in XHTML-IM (XEP-0071)

Description (last modified by evands) (diff)

Adium (using libpurple 2.3.1) does not properly format links in XHTML-IM according to XEP-0071. In particular it sends the link like this: 

<message from="sender" type="chat" to="recipient" id="foo" >
<body>http://www.example.com/</body>
<html xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">http://www.example.com/</body>
</html>
</message>

However, some Jabber clients will not treat the link as clickable because it is not formatted as a link in the XHTML-IM. The proper formatting is: 

<message from="sender" type="chat" to="recipient" id="foo" >
<body>http://www.example.com/</body>
<html xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <a href='http://www.example.com/'>http://www.example.com/</a>
</body>
</html>
</message>

For details, see Business Rule #10 in Section 8 of XEP-0071:

Sorry, Trac formatted the XML strangely (put the closing message tag at the bottom of the post for some unknown reason). The proper XML is this:

<message from="sender" type="chat" to="recipient" id="foo"> <body> http://www.example.com/</body> <html xmlns=" http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im"> <body xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <a href=' http://www.example.com/'> http://www.example.com/</a> </body> </html> </message>

For future reference, you can also wrap code in {{{ and }}} to stop trac from processing it and wrap it in <pre>..</pre>.

I have encountered the same problem with the current stable, that is Adium 1.3.1.

From my observation:

  • The problem is only with ordinary 1 to 1 XMPP chats.
  • XMPP MUC gets links linkified correctly.
  • In any case, the link gets “linkified” properly in my view.

See  http://paste.jabbim.cz/2434 (1 to 1 chat) and  http://paste.jabbim.cz/2435 (multi-user chat).

This clearly is not a critical problem, although a bit annoying to other users and might give Adium a bad name as poorly behaving client in their eyes.
