I'm using node-xmpp-client package to connect to an XMPP service. The service publishes messages when it receives them from some external source. My goal:
- Connect to the service
- Get authenticated
- Subscribe to some nodes that I'm interested in. (Node name is known)
- Receive stanza from the node to know new message has come in and handle it.
I'm referencing to the sample code here.
I have managed to connect to the service with code below. Does this automatically authenticate me to the server? I don't receive any "authenticate" event. If it doesn't, how do I explicitly request for authentication?
var client = new xmpp.Client({
jid: '[email protected]',
password: 'somepassword',
host:'somehost',
port:5222
})
Next, how do I subscribe to a publisher node? Should I do a client.send(new xmpp.Message(..))? If yes, how the xmpp.Message should be constructed? I can see the XMPP subscription iq in XMPP's web but have difficulty in mapping it back to node-xmpp's api.
