xmpp4moz ignores messages without a type attribute

There is nothing in xmpp4moz to pre-filter based on the type
attribute. Could you provide a complete snippet that reproduces the
issue?

Read the above as "there should be nothing". Things can always fall
through the cracks, I'd just be surprised in this case -- it would be
fairly noticeable. :-)

Extension code:
===
var channel;

var xmpp = {
  account:{
    jid: "****",
    password: "****",
    connectionHost: "talk.google.com",
  },

  // connect to the XMPP account
  connect: function(){
    XMPP.up(xmpp.account, xmpp.connected);
  },

  // set up a channel for incoming messages
  connected: function(){
   alert("connected");
    channel = XMPP.createChannel();
    channel.on({event: "message", direction: "in", stanza: xmpp.check_stanza}, xmpp.received);
  },

  // see if this message should be passed on to the listeners
  check_stanza: function(stanza){
    alert(stanza.@from);
  },

  received: function(stanza){
   alert(stanza.@from);
  },
}

window.addEventListener('load', xmpp.connect, false);

(**** = redacted)

It looks like it could be either the 'type' or 'id' attribute that's required - I suspect the Google and OTR elements aren't involved.

Haven't been able to get Psi's XML input to work properly to investigate this completely, sorry.

Could you try with a non-Google account? I've just tried with a
@sameplace.cc account and your code works, both with and without type
attribute. Also, you might want to take a look at the devel package
of SamePlace, it contains an XMPP console.

Alf,

I tried it too with my local ejabberd installation, and it worked just fine. If you want to talk about it more, feel free to get in touch.
