<Maranda> ember: you can't call it like that, you should setup a rewrite, and the module generates an upload slot with the hash contained in the query parameter of the request iirc
[12:38:37]
<Maranda> See prosody.im documentation about the module
[12:39:37]
<Maranda> It's essentially the same Metronome adds delete API to clean the files on the upstream server

<Carl Hardwick> BTW, the Lightwitch.org Contact Us form is returning an error message instead of sending the email.
I did a test where I sent 3 messages to a friend using the Jabber server. My friend was offline. When he came online about 5 hours after I sent the messages, he never received the messages.
[19:35:46]
<Maranda> Carl Hardwick: this is not the place to inquiry or complain about the lightwitch.org XMPP service, also even if for some reason the lightwitch.org contact form thrown you an error I received (and deleted) every other complaint you sent via aria-net.org's (and it's many). I'll be rather frank whenever you complained about the server "being down" it wasn't really down but just overloaded, backlogging and perhaps not answering before a timeout actually happened. I also have a XMPP monitoring system in place to inform me of eventual downtimes before you do, so insisting with this activity beside being annoying is quite redundant.
[19:36:29]
<Ellenor Bjornsdottir> ow
[19:37:24]
<Maranda> The service is a free service offered AS IS, with no guarantees of sort. Even if for some reason it goes down there're mechanism in place that will eventually bring it back up.
[19:38:41]
<Maranda> If that doesn't suit you, I'm sorry and you're more than welcome to pick another out there.
[19:38:57]
<Maranda> There's plenty of choice after all.
[19:52:29]
<Carl Hardwick> Maranda.
I'm a programmer as well. I'm not spending time sending those reports just to complain. I'm trying to give you accurate bug reports, the kind that I wish users would give to me.
All too often bug reports give wrong symptoms or just say nothing other than something is broken.,
The Jabber, Lightwitch and Aria system hasn't been working for many weeks. I've been there and I know that no one likes to be reminded about ongoing failure.
[19:53:44]
<Carl Hardwick> @Maranada
BTW, did you know that the Jabber server has been failing to deliver messages when the recipient is offline?
[20:03:44]
<Maranda> Carl Hardwick: again I rest my case, I'm perfectly aware of the issues. Which is mostly because Metronome, being single threaded as is, is overwhelmed by the incoming amount of traffic generated by Bifrost and at chances becomes unable to process stanzas so considering there's no pheasable solution, for the moment, you add nothing constructive or something I don't know already and just annoy the heck out of sb. who's already annoyed to not have the time to work on a proper solution.
[20:08:14]
<Maranda> So I again ask you to refrain with this kind of attitude, if you want to submit or report an issue about Metronome there's an issue tracker which you can use, if you want to report issues about LW.Org there're the appropriate places to *which* you shouldn't abuse. If you can't be patient to wait for issues to be resolved again I invite you to switch service or use another software.
[20:08:48]
<Carl Hardwick> Maranda: I was trying to help, one developer to another.
I didn't think you had a monitoring system in place because the Jabber server has been unavailable every day and sometimes for days at a time.The contact form requires an email address. If my reports were annoying to you, all you had to do was reply using my email address.
The Jabber/Lightwitch/Aria system has been crashing every day for months.
Anyway, as long as you're aware of the problems, that's all I wanted to do.
I'll leave you to it. You won't be hearing from me ever again.
[20:13:25]
<Ellenor Bjornsdottir> heck :(
