Re: Send XML contents in Message and IQ stanza

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi Adam, First of all, to post to aioxmpp-devel, you need to be subscribed. As an administrator, I still got your message, but nobody else got it. Replying to the list. On Samstag, 22. Juli 2017 17:01:30 CEST you wrote: Yes, with some (supported) trickery. See below ... In general, it is preferable to define it properly. If there is even a slim chance that you might need to do proper interaction with the IoT application at a later point (for example for a server side application or something like that), you’ll benefit from properly defining the schema. aioxmpp supports sending and receiving arbitrary XML trees. You cannot directly send raw strings of XML, because that would be unsafe (the whole stream would break if you sent "<test>" without closing tag). By default, Message stanzas do not support this, but you can monkey patch that behaviour into it using: # put these lines somewhere in the start up of your app import aioxmpp aioxmpp.Message.raw = aioxmpp.xso.Collector() (see [1] for details on the Collector descriptor) Now you can compose your message like this: import lxml.etree as etree msg = aioxmpp.Message( type_=aioxmpp.MessageType.CHAT, to=aioxmpp.JID.fromstr(&quot;mzclientxmppapp(a)xmpp-cls.intamac.com/xmppadmin&quot;)min"), ) msg.raw.append(etree.fromstring( '<alert xmlns="Intamac:alert" id="14147" alert="Car_AlarmEnd"' ' source="aad" timestamp="1470013199" />' )) The Collector-based attribute is a list of ElementTree or Element objects (from the etree-API). It is normally used as catch-all in situations where it isn’t known what elements will occur beforehand (for example in PubSub notifications), but it can also be used to embed arbitrary XML. I’ve added a send_raw.py example, check it out in the git repository [2]. Have fun!
