Question

I am building a web-application chat. I want to know how to send the connection status once the authentication is successful to the next page. The gateway would be the login page.

login.html

<html>
<script src="scripts/login.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/strophe.js"></script>
<form>
JID: <input type="text" name="username" id="username"><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password">
<input type="button" value="Connect" id="connect"/>
</form>
</html>

login.js

var BOSH_SERVICE = "http://127.0.0.1:7070/http-bind/";
$(function{
var connection = new Strophe.Connection(BOSH_SERVICE);
var jid = $('#username').val();
var password = $('#password').val();

//connection
connection.connect(jid, password, callback());

});

function callback(status){
//authentication code here

else if(status==Strophe.Status.CONNECTED){
 log(connected);
 windows.location = "chat.html";
}

}

How do I keep the session alive so that when the page redirects to chat.html it will still be connected. Thanks. Need help really soon.

Solution

You can store the BOSH 'sid' and 'rid' values, either locally or on the server, and re-attach to the connection from the new page.

An overview of doing with Strophe.js is described in this article: Getting attached to Strophe. Other libraries will likely have similar mechanisms, as this is a common BOSH technique.
