Subject: Save gtalk Chat history in gmail
Hi ,

I have developed a application (ASP.NET 4 & VS2010 ) that connects to Gtalk for chatting and it works well.

I just noticed that the chat history is not recorded in google mail.

Is there any possible setting that will do that?



Regards,
Ilay

Google has own extensions for this. They are documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/talk/jep_extensions/usersettin…

You can enable the logging when you implement this extension in your client.

you should look at the creating own packet tutorial. This explains how to build your own packets and queries and extend agsXMPP.
If you are using MatriX you can find it in the documentation.

I read the Google document again. What I understand is that these settings apply to all clients, and are not saved per client on the server. If you enable archiving in Gmail then this should also apply to your client.

Hi Alex,

Wow, what a quick reply. Thank you for that.


I tried the Archive setting earlier, but it does not work.

then I tried sending the message

<iq type='get' to='gmail.com'>
  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
</iq>

in the Onlogin() event as given below.

void xmpp_OnLogin(object sender)
    {
        //xmpp.Send(new Message(new Jid(lstbox.SelectedValue.ToString()), MessageType.chat, "Hello, how are you?"));
        String strTemp = "<iq type='get' to='gmail.com'><query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/></iq>";
        xmpp.Send(strTemp);
    }

but I am not able to see any response.


Any clue what would be the issue ?

Cheers,
Ilay

every iq query needs a unique id attribute. This is missing here.
  1. <iq type='get' to='gmail.com' id='unique_id'>
  2.  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
  3. </iq>

try to send it later in the OnRosterEnd event. Not responding to an Iq at all is not a nice behavior of a server ;-)

Hi Alex,

Thanks again. I tried the below method.

void xmpp_OnRosterEnd(object sender)
    {
        //lstbox.DataSource = dt;
        //lstbox.DataTextField = "Name";
        //lstbox.DataValueField = "id"; ;
        //lstbox.DataBind();

        //OnRosterEnd
        String strXML = "<iq type='get'  to='gmail.com' id='info1' ><query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/></iq>";
        SendMessage(strXML);

    }

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    public static void SendMessage(string strXML)
    {
        XmppClientConnection xmpp = (XmppClientConnection)HttpRuntime.Cache["xmpp"];
        xmpp.Send(strXML);
    }

but again no improvement.

Any clue?

I assume that there is a general problem in your web application not receiving Iq events. According to the XMPP RFCs a server MUST respond to every iq stanza, and I am pretty sure that the GTalk server does.
