Pleroma and GoToSocial support

[velartrill]

bitlbee-mastodon currently does not support pleroma, because pleroma requires the use of websockets to subscribe to its event stream, and bitlbee-mastodon uses the mastodon-style streaming API instead. we may want to look at bitlbee-discord, which already uses websocket - it might be possible to translate its implementation to the pleroma API.

Anybody interested in helping out, the beginning of some code is in the websockets branch: #43.

I currently able to sign in to a Pleroma instance, but I keep getting disconnected:

pleroma - Logging in: Verifying credentials
pleroma - Logging in: Getting home timeline
pleroma - Login error: Failed to switch to websocket mode for /api/v1/streaming?stream=user
pleroma - Logging in: Signing off..
fedialexschroederch_kens QUIT bitlbee.localhost mastodon.localhost

Looks like the request I'm sending is something like this:

HTTP/1.1 
Host: fedi.alexschroeder.ch 
Connection: keep-alive, Upgrade 
Upgrade: websocket 
Origin: https://fedi.alexschroeder.ch 
Pragma: no-cache 
Cache-Control: no-cache 
Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13 
Sec-WebSocket-Key: 57tuV1d0Q1g6fZmC3nnwTQ== 
User-Agent: BitlBee 3.6 

And the reply I'm getting from my Pleroma instance is something like this:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 
content-length: 0 
date: Sun, 08 Dec 2019 19:43:48 GMT 
server: Cowboy

That issue was solved by also appending the access token as a parameter to the URL. This goes against what I believe is correct. It should be passed along as an HTTP header. Oh well.

Next problem: I'm getting empty websocket messages that cannot be parsed, I'm not seeing any statuses in my timeline and I'm being disconnected after 2min.

i'll see about compiling the branch and trying it with my pleroma account when i have time later this evening

I'm still getting this error, even if I'm using the branch with websocket support #43:

Login error: OAuth failure (unsupported_grant_type)

I don't know what to do about that. I think support for OAuth scopes got added with MR #1643 closing issue #1234. I guess my Pleroma instance is too old?

This also affects support for GoToSocial, which implements the websocket API but not the SSE one.
