Subject: Ideas for Read Receipt
Hello,
 I am interested to find out if any has implement a read receipt for messages.  Having thought about it I have come up with the idea of using iqfilter and onIq event.  I have search the forum but nothing concrete was found.

Regards
Will

This was used a lot on the old XEP-0022 Message events using the displayed event.

See also XEP-0333: Chat Markers.

You can also very easy roll your own extension based on XEP-0184 Message Delivery Receipts.

Hi Alex,
    The IQfilter works once the users are both online.  However is one is not online, I am getting errors:
I am trying this:

  1. foreach (var message in unreadMessagesList)
  2. {
  3.     var msgReadIq = new MessageReadIq
  4.     {
  5.         Type = IqType.Get,
  6.         From = message.ToTelephoneNumber,
  7.         To = message.FromTelephoneNumber,
  8.         MessageRead = new MessageRead { ReadStatusDate = DateTime.Now.ToString(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture), MessageId = message.MessageXMPPId.ToString() }
  9.     };
  10.    
  11.     try
  12.     {
  13.         // Send the Stanza to the recipient via the server using IqFilter
  14.         _xmppClient.IqFilter.SendIq(msgReadIq, ReadResponse, "OPEN");
  15.  
  16.     }
  17.     catch (System.Exception ex)
  18.     {
  19.         var msg = ex;
  20.     }
  21. }

  1. <error code="503" type="cancel">
  2.     <service-unavailable xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas" />
  3. </error>

On the second time in the loop I am getting the error listed above.  Please note the recipient is offline.

Regards,
Will

You cannot send IQs to offline users. This is how XMPP is designed.
This is why the server resturns the error to you which is fine.

Offline users have no Resource which is required for IQs.

If you want to send information to a user while he/she is offline you have to use the message stanza, and send teh message to teh users Bare Jid.

Hi Alex,
     After posting the question I did some reading and realized that this is how XMPP works.  So my read receipt implementation will have to be done using messges as well.  What is the different if I send the message to the users Full Jid as against the Bare Jid?  Also does matrix implement message events?

Regards,
Will

A user can be online with multiple client or devices at the same time. Each of those connections is specified by the unique resource.
If you want to send a message to a given client/connection/resource then you can do so by sending to the full Jid.
If you send to a bare Jid then the message get routed automatically to the "most available resource" or all resources. This depends on your server and its configuration.

you asked how MatriX handles Message Events.

XEP-0022: Message Events are sent within message stanzas. So if you receive a message event then MatriX just raises an OnMessage to you. The Message class has funtions to retrieve the message event.
