Pull request

This is the pull request for "server-to-Server Stream Management Support for ejabberd" GSOC 2017 project.

During GSOC 2017 mod_stream_mgmt_s2s was implemented. To view documentation for server-to-server stream management module follow link:

https://github.com/Amuhar/docs_for_0198_s2s/blob/master/mod_stream_mgmt_s2s.md

Tests for server part of implementation are provided (module sms2s_tests).

Thanks.

We should look into at least the following issues (I didn't get to review the code until yesterday due to my vacation, so Anna couldn't address these things earlier):

• The client part of the code currently sends the <enable/> request without checking for the stream feature. We should check s2s_out_authenticated_features (the PR contains code for this, but it's commented out). This means that stream management won't be negotiated for dialback-authenticated connections, though. (XEP-0198 was written with c2s connections in mind and doesn't mention this issue.)
• If the queue exceeds the limit, the connection should be killed. Currently, only an error message is sent (to the remote server rather than the sender).
• If the remote server specifies a location attribute, the code should honor this.
• The module shouldn't access the Mnesia table s2s directly.
• At least parts of the code could be merged with mod_stream_mgmt.
• Test cases for the s2s_out (the stream management client) code should be added. This requires some changes to our current test infrastructure.
