XEP-0313: new revision 0.7
Plus (after ML discussion): - Clarify intention of 'with' field rule - Add 'ids' field for fetching specific messages - Add archive metadata query - relax language about inclusion of RSM count/index These were always optional, but the XEP encouraged their use. Implementation experience has shown that generating the count has significant performance cost, while most/all current clients ignore it anyway.

<p>Servers supporting fields marked with an asterisk (*) MUST advertise the disco feature 'urn:xmpp:mam:2#extended' and clients
|

that depend on these fields MUST verify that the server advertises this feature before attempting to use them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Other fields may be used, but are not defined in this document - the naming of new fields MUST be
|
||||
consistent with the format defined in &xep0068;. Servers MUST NOT mark any fields in the form as
|

defined in this document or elsewhere.</p>

<section3 topic='Filtering by JID' anchor='filter-jid'>
|

<p>If a 'with' field is present in the form, it contains a JID against which to match messages. The
|
||||
server MUST only return messages if they match the supplied JID. A message in a user's archive matches if the JID matches either the to or from of the message. An item in a pubsub or MUC archive matches if the publisher of the item matches the JID; note that this should only be available to entities that would already have been allowed to know the publisher of the events (e.g. this could not be used by a visitor to a semi-anonymous MUC).</p>
|
||||
<p>If the 'with' field's value is the bare JID of the archive, the server must only return results where both the 'to' and 'from' match the bare JID (either as bare or by ignoring the resource), as otherwise every message in the archive would match</p>

|

<p>To allow querying for messages the user sent to themselves, the client needs to set the 'with' attribute to the account JID. In that case, the server MUST only return results where both the 'to' and 'from' match the bare JID (either as bare or by ignoring the resource), as otherwise every message in the archive would match.</p>

<p>Sometimes (e.g. due to network or storage partitioning, or other transient errors) the server might return results to a client that are unstable (e.g. they might later change in sequence or content).

If the server knows that the data it's serving are stable it MUST either stamp a 'stable' attribute with a value of 'true', or no such attribute. An example of when unstable might legitimately be returned is if the MAM service uses a clustered data store and a query covers a time period for which the data store has not yet converged; it the server could return best-guess results and tell the client that they may be unstable. A client SHOULD NOT cache unstable results long-term without later confirming (by reissuing appropriate queries) that they have become stable.</p>

a server MAY include them, but a client MUST NOT depend on them being present. Please refer to the RSM

specification for more information surrounding their meaning and use.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having previously made a query that returned results limited by the server (as described above), a client
|
||||
can re-send the same request and receive the next 'page' of results. It does this by including a <set>
|
||||
element with its request, containing an <after/> with the UID of the last message it received
|
||||
from the previous query.</p>

||||

|

<p>Note: There is no concept of an "open query", and servers MUST be prepared to receive arbitrary page requests at any time.</p>
|
||||
<p>RSM does not define the behaviour of including both <before> and <after> in the same request. To retrieve a range of items between two known ids, use before-id and after-id in the query form instead.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the UID contained within an <after> or <before> element is not present in the archive, the server MUST return an item-not-found error in response to the query.</p>

|

<p>When the results returned by the server are complete (that is: when they have not been limited by the maximum size of the result page (either as specified or enforced by the server)), the server MUST include a 'complete' attribute on the <fin> element, with a value of 'true'; this informs the client that it doesn't need to perform further paging to retreive the requested data. If it is not the last page of the result set, the server MUST either omit the 'complete' attribute, or give it a value of 'false'.</p>

|

<p>Sometimes (e.g. due to network or storage partitioning, or other transient errors) the server might return results to a client that are unstable (e.g. they might later change in sequence or content). In such a situation the server MUST stamp the <fin> element with a 'stable' attribute with a value of 'false'. If the server knows that the data it's serving are stable it MUST either stamp a 'stable' attribute with a value of 'true', or no such attribute. An example of when unstable might legitimately be returned is if the MAM service uses a clustered data store and a query covers a time period for which the data store has not yet converged; it the server could return best-guess results and tell the client that they may be unstable. A client SHOULD NOT cache unstable results long-term without later confirming (by reissuing appropriate queries) that they have become stable.</p>

<section3 topic='Requesting the last page'>

<p>To request the page at the end of the archive (i.e. the most recent messages), include just an empty <before/> element in the RSM part of the query. As defined by RSM, this will return the last page of the archive.</p>

<section3 topic='Flipped pages' anchor='query-paging-flip'>
|

<p>When fetching a page, the client may prefer for the server to send the results within that page in reverse order.
|

For example, if a client implements a user interface that automatically fetches older messages as a user scrolls backward,
|
||||
it may want to receive and display the newest messages first, instead of waiting for the whole page to be received.</p>
|
||||
<p>A client wishing for a reversed page should include the <flip-page/> element in its query, like so:</p>
|
||||
<example caption='Requesting a page that is flipped'><![CDATA[

</iq>
|

|
||||
<p>It is important to note that flipping a page does not affect what results are returned in response to the query. It only affects the
|
||||
order in which they are transmitted from the server to the client.</p>
|
||||
<p>A client that wishes to use flipped pages MUST ensure that the server advertises the 'urn:xmpp:mam:2#extended' feature.</p>
