strip

BOSH-Connections will have all stanzas wrapped in a tag when passed to xmlInput() or xmlOutput(). To strip this tag, User code can set strip to true:

// You can set strip on the prototype Bosh.prototype.strip = true;

// Or you can set it on the Bosh instance (which is ._proto on the connection instance. const conn = new Connection(); conn._proto.strip = true;

This will enable stripping of the body tag in both xmlInput and xmlOutput.

Methods

_abortAllRequests()

Private helper function that makes sure all pending requests are aborted.

Source:

_attach(jid, sid, rid, callback, wait, hold, wind)

Attach to an already created and authenticated BOSH session.

This function is provided to allow Strophe to attach to BOSH sessions which have been created externally, perhaps by a Web application. This is often used to support auto-login type features without putting user credentials into the page.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
jid string

The full JID that is bound by the session.
sid string

The SID of the BOSH session.
rid number

The current RID of the BOSH session. This RID will be used by the next request.
callback function

The connect callback function.
wait number

The optional HTTPBIND wait value. This is the time the server will wait before returning an empty result for a request. The default setting of 60 seconds is recommended. Other settings will require tweaks to the Strophe.TIMEOUT value.
hold number

The optional HTTPBIND hold value. This is the number of connections the server will hold at one time. This should almost always be set to 1 (the default).
wind number

The optional HTTBIND window value. This is the allowed range of request ids that are valid. The default is 5.
