Missing from field in start stream #163

Closed vishwa-mke closed 3 years ago

vishwa-mke commented 4 years ago

The "from" field is missing during stream start, while this information is optional, it is quite important in some cases (for example in a situation where there is a need to load balance incoming XMPP requests based on their JID). It would be nice if there is a way in libstrophe to include this field at least as a configurable option, so that these kind of use cases can be fulfilled in line with the XMPP specification.

Thank you for pointing to this feature. It's implemented in master. from is sent in every <stream> tag over TLS(!) session.

And kudos to @jubalh for pointing to privacy concerns with the from attribute over plaintext connection.
