implementing Prosody's mod_client_proxy

[jirkanov]

Hello,

is there a way of achieving what the Prosody module mod_client_proxy does,
i.e. forwarding stanzas from a service to a given client and back?
Or will it require writing a new module? Any tips on that?

My use case is running Jitsi on top of Ejabberd instead of Prosody.

I am not aware of any ejabberd module (included in ejabberd, or managed by somebody else) that implements such a feature. I guess you already made a search over github etc, in case there was such an ejabberd module somewhere.

Looking at the mod_client_proxy documentation, such a feature could be implemented as a "Jabber component", that could be used by any jabber server. I mean, you can search also for a server-agnostic implementation of that feature, that could work with ejabberd, and any other jabber server.

Another implementation path would be to write a chatbot that logins to account [email protected] and performs its proxy tasks there... Maybe there's already some XMPP chatbot with that feature?

For implementing in ejabberd as a component, some modules to look could be:

• mod_echo for the component part
• mod_filter, mod_pottymouth, mod_spam_filter: for the stanza rewrite part

Since when is that needed? Jitsi Meet used to work okaish with ejabberd as it is.

At some point they modified the Jicofo component to use a normal c2s login, but for some reason it's still addressed as focus.example.com rather than [email protected], so they rely on the address being rewritten.
