Can't login when password has spaces #100

Closed adrpino closed 9 years ago

adrpino commented 9 years ago

I cannot login in accounts that have spaces in the password. I have tried to enclose the password in quotes but it doesn't work. Should I type them with some special character?

christophershirk commented 9 years ago

@adrpino curious, are you typing the password into xmpp-client directly, or is it read from the json config file?

adrpino commented 9 years ago

@zeroshirts I have the errors when inputting the password in the console and also when writing it in the configuration file, so I don't believe is an issue of the spaces themselves.

For testing purposes I have created a couple of accounts: tests_agl_xmppclient@dukgo.com, with password "test test" tests_agl_xmppclient@jabber.otr.im, with password also "test test"

I have checked a couple of times I can connect to both of them from Pidgin, but any can test it.

The weird thing is that from xmpp-client I manage to connect to the dukgo account, but not to the jabber.otr.im. If someone can connect to the second form xmpp-client, it will prove it's a problem on my computer.

Any Ideas?

I have no idea about the fundamentals of how this program runs, and in principle I thought it was something about the password, but clearly it is not the case. The error I get is:

Failed to connect via proxy: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9050: getsockopt: connection refused.

I can authenticate as tests_agl_xmppclient@dukgo.com with a space in the password without any issues, so I think that's working.

Failed to connect via proxy: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9050: getsockopt: connection refused.

That suggests that you enabled Tor, but don't have Tor running. (Or, at least, not on the default port.) If you don't want Tor enabled, you can edit your config file (~/.xmpp-client by default) and remove the "Proxies" section.

Ok, now I got it, you said it. I haven't got Tor running. In my defense for such a blunder, I compiled xmpp-client a long ago and I didn't remember whether it included Tor in itself, I was confused with Ricochet.
