7.1.1

Groupchat 1.0 Protocol

In order to participate in the discussions held in a multi-user chat room, a Jabber user MUST first become an occupant by entering the room. In the old “groupchat 1.0” protocol, this was done by sending presence to <room@service/nick>, where “room” is the room ID, “service” is the hostname of the chat service, and “nick” is the user’s desired nickname within the room:

为了参与一个房间的聊天，一个用户必须首先进入这个房间，成为一个occupant，我们用向roomjid : room@service/nikd 发送presence协议这种方式实现，这里的room是一个roomid，service是服务器的host，nick是用户希望在这个房间里显示的昵称。

一个用户请求进入一个房间

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda' jid
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'/> roomjid
      

In this example, a user with a full JID of “hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda” has requested to enter the room “darkcave” on the “chat.shakespeare.lit” chat service with a room nickname of “thirdwitch”.

在这个例子中，一个带有full jid 的用户 xx 已经请求进入 在服务chat.shakespeare.lit  上的 darkcave这个房间，并希望有一个thirdwith这个昵称

If the user does not specify a room nickname, the service MUST return a <jid-malformed/> error:

如果这个用户没有指定昵称， 服务器必须要返回error

Example 17. No Nickname Specified

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    type='error'>
  <error type='modify'>
    <jid-malformed xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

7.1.2

Basic MUC Protocol

Compliant multi-user chat services MUST accept the foregoing as a request to enter a room from any Jabber client that knows either the “groupchat 1.0” (GC) protocol or the multi-user chat (MUC) protocol; however, MUC clients SHOULD signal their ability to speak the MUC protocol by including in the initial presence stanza an empty <x/> element qualified by the ‘http://jabber.org/protocol/muc’ namespace (note the absence of the ‘#user’ fragment):

客户端要让服务器知道他们能够接受群聊服务，方法是加入一个x节，xmlns =’http://jabber.org/protocol/muc’/

Example 18. Jabber User Seeks to Enter a Room (Multi-User Chat)

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda' jid
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'> roomjid
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/> 
</presence>
       

Note: If an error occurs in relation to joining a room, the service SHOULD include the MUC child element (i.e., <x xmlns=’http://jabber.org/protocol/muc’/>) in the <presence/> stanza of type “error”.

Before attempting to enter the room, a MUC-compliant client SHOULD first discover its reserved room nickname (if any) by following the protocol defined in the

Discovering Reserved Room Nickname

section of this document.

要对昵称进行检查

7.1.3

Presence Broadcast

presence 广播

If the service is able to add the user to the room, it MUST send presence from all the existing occupants’ room JIDs to the new occupant’s full JID, including extended presence information about roles in an <x/> element qualified by the ‘http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user’ namespace and containing an< item/> child with the ‘role’ attribute set to a value of “moderator”, “participant”, or “visitor”, and with the ‘affiliation’ attribute set to a value of “owner”, “admin”, “member”, or “none” as appropriate:

如果服务器允许这个用户进入房间的话，服务器必须发送 from=roomjids to=加入用户的jid 的presence协议，包含扩展的用来包含role的信息的presence协议的x节，在muc#user这个namespace里面，包含在item这个节内的role属性还有affiliation属性。

Example 19. Service Sends Presence from Existing Occupants to New Occupant

服务器

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/firstwitch' existing roomjid
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'> new jid
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='owner' role='moderator'/>
  </x>
</presence>

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/secondwitch'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='admin' role='moderator'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

In this example, the user from the previous example has entered the room, by which time two other people had already entered the room: a user with a room nickname of “firstwitch” (who is a room owner) and a user with a room nickname of “secondwitch” (who is a room admin).

在这个例子里面，用户从前一个例子已经进入了这个房间，这个房间里面已经有了两个人了，一个的昵称是firstwitch，是一个owner，另外一个的昵称是secondwitch，是一个房间管理员。

The service MUST also send presence from the new occupant’s room JID to the full JIDs of all the occupants (including the new occupant):

服务端也必须发送一个presence协议，from=new roomjid to=existing full jid

Example 20. Service Sends New Occupant’s Presence to All Occupants

服务器向所有在房间内部的人发送消息，通知新用户进来了。

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch' new roomjid
    to='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'> existing jid
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
  </x>
</presence>

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='wiccarocks@shakespeare.lit/laptop'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
  </x>
</presence>

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='110'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

In this example, initial room presence is being sent from the new occupant (thirdwitch) to all occupants, including the new occupant. As shown in the last stanza, the presence sent by the room to a user from itself as an occupant SHOULD include a status code of 110 so that the user knows this presence refers to itself as an occupant.

在这个例子里面，开始，presence 已经发送给了所有的occupants，包括这个新用户自己，而且是在最后一个presence 节，一个presence从一个roomjid 发送给一个jid，这两个是相同的用户，应该包含110这个状态码，让客户端知道，这个presence让他自己知道，这个presence是来自作为occupant的他自己的。

The service MAY rewrite the new occupant’s roomnick (e.g., if roomnicks are locked down). If the service does not accept the new occupant’s requested roomnick but instead assigns a new roomnick, it MUST include a status code of “210” in the presence broadcast that it sends to the new occupant.

服务端或许要记录下这个occupant的昵称，如果服务器不接受这个occupant的昵称，要自己重新给一个昵称的话，一定要包含一个210的状态码。（这个也是发给自己的）

Example 21. Service Sends New Occupant’s Presence to New Occupant

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='110'/>
    <status code='210'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

Note: The order of the presence stanzas sent to the new occupant is important. The service MUST first send the complete list of the existing occupants to the new occupant and only then send the new occupant’s own presence to the new occupant. This helps the client know when it has received the complete “room roster”.

注意 ： 这个presence协议的发送顺序是需要注意的，很重要，首先服务器必须完成existing 到 new 的通知，然后发送new到new的通知，这样可以帮助客户端知道什么时候他收完了房间列表。

After sending the presence broadcast (and only after doing so), the service may then send discussion history, live messages, presence updates, and other in-room traffic.

在发完presence广播以后，服务端或许会发送聊天记录，

7.1.4

Default Roles

默认的role

The following table summarizes the initial default roles that a service should set based on the user’s affiliation (there is no role associated with the “outcast” affiliation, since such users are not allowed to enter the room).

下面的表格说明了，根据用户的affiliation来set用户的role的默认的规则

* Entry is not permitted.

7.1.5

Non-Anonymous Rooms

If the room is non-anonymous, the service MUST send the new occupant’s full JID to all occupants using extended presence information in an <x/> element qualified by the ‘http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user’ namespace and containing an< item/> child with a ‘jid’ attribute specifying the occupant’s full JID:

如果一个房间是一个不匿名的房间，服务器必须发送新进来的用户的fulljid 给所有的existing occupant。在item里面加入一个jid的属性

Example 22. Service Sends Full JID to All Occupants

服务器发送全jid给所有的occupant

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch' new roomjid
    to='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'> existing jid
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='none'
          jid='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
          role='participant'/>
  </x>
</presence>

[ ... ]
      

If the user is entering a room that is non-anonymous (i.e., which informs all occupants of each occupant’s full JID as shown above), the service SHOULD allow the user to enter the room but MUST also warn the user that the room is not anonymous. This SHOULD be done by including a status code of “100” in the initial presence that the room sends to the new occupant:

如果这个用户进入的是一个非匿名的房间，服务器必须要告诉他，他进入的是一个非匿名的房间。可以包含一个100的status code，可以在自己通知自己的时候包含进去

Example 23. Service Sends New Occupant’s Presence to New Occupant

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='100'/> 非匿名的
    <status code='110'/> 作为结束收roster的标志
    <status code='210'/> 服务器可以改变他的昵称，改变了这个用户的昵称
  </x>
</presence>
      

However, it MAY be done by sending a message of type “groupchat” to the new occupant containing an <x/> child with a< status/> element that has the ‘code’ attribute set to a value of “100”:

也可以发送一个message消息，在x节里面包含status节，并设置code属性，表明100码

Example 24. Service Warns New Occupant About Lack of Anonymity

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit' roomid
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda' new jid
    type='groupchat'>
  <body>This room is not anonymous.</body>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <status code='100'/>
  </x>
</message>
      

The inclusion of the status code assists clients in presenting their own notification messages (e.g., information appropriate to the user’s locality).

7.1.6

Semi-Anonymous Rooms

If the room is semi-anonymous, the service MUST send presence from the new occupant to all occupants as specified above, but MUST include the new occupant’s full JID only in the presence notifications it sends to occupants with a role of “moderator” and not to non-moderator occupants.

如果是半匿名的房间，新进来的用户只发送给moderator，不发送给非moderator的用户

(Note: All subsequent examples include the ‘jid’ attribute for each <item/> element, even though this information is not sent to non-moderators in semi-anonymous rooms.)

7.1.7

Password-Protected Rooms

If the room requires a password and the user did not supply one (or the password provided is incorrect), the service MUST deny access to the room and inform the user that they are unauthorized; this is done by returning a presence stanza of type “error” specifying a< not-authorized/> error:

如果这个用户没有输入正确的密码，服务器应该通知他。

Example 25. Service Denies Access Because No Password Provided

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit' roomid
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda' new jid
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='auth'>
    <not-authorized xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

Passwords SHOULD be supplied with the presence stanza sent when entering the room, contained within an <x/> element qualified by the ‘http://jabber.org/protocol/muc’ namespace and containing a< password/> child. Passwords are to be sent as cleartext; no other authentication methods are supported at this time, and any such authentication or authorization methods shall be defined in a separate specification (see the

Security Considerations

section of this document).

密码应该发送在protocol/muc这个xmlns下，并且在password节里面用明码发送。

Example 26. User Provides Password On Entering a Room

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>
    <password>cauldronburn</password>
  </x>
</presence>
      

7.1.8

Members-Only Rooms

If the room is members-only but the user is not on the member list, the service MUST deny access to the room and inform the user that they are not allowed to enter the room; this is done by returning a presence stanza of type “error” specifying a< registration-required/> error condition:

在member-only房间里，如果这个新进入的用户，服务器必须驳回，然后通知用户这个房间不允许其进入。包含一个registration-required的error节

Example 27. Service Denies Access Because User Is Not on Member List

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='auth'>
    <registration-required xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

7.1.9

Banned Users

If the user has been banned from the room (i.e., has an affiliation of “outcast”), the service MUST deny access to the room and inform the user of the fact that he or she is banned; this is done by returning a presence stanza of type “error” specifying a< forbidden/> error condition:

如果一个用户已经被驱逐了，被放入了黑名单，那么，服务不应该让他进入这个房间，返回一个

Example 28. Service Denies Access Because User is Banned

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit' roomid
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda' newjid
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='auth'>
    <forbidden xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

7.1.10

Nickname Conflict

If the room already contains another user with the nickname desired by the user seeking to enter the room (or if the nickname is reserved by another user on the member list), the service MUST deny access to the room and inform the user of the conflict; this is done by returning a presence stanza of type “error” specifying a< conflict/> error condition:

如果这个房间已经存在一个其他的用户，和这个用户的昵称相同的话，或者已经和其他用户的保留的昵称相同，服务器不应该允许他进入房间，应该返回conflict

Example 29. Service Denies Access Because of Nick Conflict

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <conflict xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

However, if the bare JID <localpart@domain.tld> of the present occupant matches the bare JID of the user seeking to enter the room, then the service SHOULD allow entry to the user, so that the user has two (or more) in-room “sessions” with the same roomnick, one for each resource. If a service allows more than one occupant with the same bare JID and the same room nickname, it SHOULD route in-room messages to all of the user’s resources and allow all of the user’s resources to send messages to the room; it is up to the implementation to determine how to appropriately handle presence from the user’s resources and how to route private messages to all or only one resource (based on presence priority or some other algorithm).

但是，如果这个userid和自己冲突了，如果服务器允许多副本，应该允许其进入，并处理相应的信息。

How nickname conflicts are determined is up to the implementation (e.g., whether the service applies a case folding routine, a stringprep profile such as Resourceprep or Nodeprep, etc.).

7.1.11

Max Users

If the room has reached its maximum number of occupants, the service SHOULD deny access to the room and inform the user of the restriction; this is done by returning a presence stanza of type “error” specifying a <service-unavailable/> error condition:

如果这个房间已经进入了上线用户。服务器应该不允许其进入，返回一个error，包含一个service-unavailable节

Example 30. Service Informs User that Room Occupant Limit Has Been Reached

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='wait'>
    <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

Alternatively, the room could kick an “idle user” in order to free up space.

If the room has reached its maximum number of occupants and a room admin or owner attempts to join, the room SHOULD allow the admin or owner to join, up to some reasonable number of additional occupants, which number MAY be configurable.

7.1.12

Locked Room

If a user attempts to enter a room while it is “locked” (i.e., before the room creator provides an initial configuration and therefore before the room officially exists), the service MUST refuse entry and return an <item-not-found/> error to the user:

在一个房间没有被完全创建之前，也就是一个被锁住的房间，这个房间的主人没有设置完这个房间的配置，服务器不应该让其进入，返回一个item-not-found错误节

Example 31. Service Denies Access Because Room Does Not Exist

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    type='error'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <item-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</presence>
      

7.1.13

Nonexistent Room

If the room does not already exist when the user seeks to enter it, the service SHOULD create it; however, this is not required, since an implementation or deployment MAY choose to restrict the privilege of creating rooms. For details, see the

Creating a Room

section of this document.

7.1.14

Room Logging

If the user is entering a room in which the discussions are logged to a public archive (often accessible via HTTP), the service SHOULD allow the user to enter the room but MUST also warn the user that the discussions are logged. This SHOULD be done by including a status code of “170” in the initial presence that the room sends to the new occupant:

如果这个房间的聊天记录是被记录的， 应该发170提醒用户

Example 32. Service Sends New Occupant’s Presence to New Occupant

<presence
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='100'/>
    <status code='110'/>
    <status code='170'/>
    <status code='210'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

7.1.15

Discussion History

After sending initial presence as shown above, a room MAY send discussion history to the new occupant. (The room MUST NOT send any discussion history before it finishes sending room presence as specified in the

Presence Broadcast

section of this document.) Whether such history is sent, and how many messages comprise the history, shall be determined by the chat service implementation or specific deployment.

在发送完毕presence后，服务器可以选择发送聊天记录给这个新用户。一定要在发送完了所有的presence之后。但是聊天记录是否发送，发送多少由服务器决定

Example 33. Delivery of Discussion History

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/firstwitch'
    to='hecate@shakespeare.lit/broom'
    type='groupchat'>
  <body>Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.</body>
  <delay xmlns='urn:xmpp:delay'
     from='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'
     stamp='2002-10-13T23:58:37Z'/>
</message>

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/secondwitch'
    to='hecate@shakespeare.lit/broom'
    type='groupchat'>
  <body>Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.</body>
  <delay xmlns='urn:xmpp:delay'
     from='wiccarocks@shakespeare.lit/laptop'
     stamp='2002-10-13T23:58:43Z'/>
</message>

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    to='hecate@shakespeare.lit/broom'
    type='groupchat'>
  <body>Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time.</body>
  <delay xmlns='urn:xmpp:delay'
     from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
     stamp='2002-10-13T23:58:49Z'/>
</message>
      

Discussion history messages MUST be stamped with

Delayed Delivery

[

11

] information qualified by the ‘urn:xmpp:delay’ namespace to indicate that they are sent with delayed delivery and to specify the times at which they were originally sent. (Note: The ‘urn:xmpp:delay’ namespace defined in XEP-0203 supersedes the older ‘jabber:x:delay’ namespace defined in

Legacy Delayed Delivery

[

12

]; until the status of XEP-0091 is changed to Obsolete, implementations SHOULD include both datetime formats.) The ‘from’ attribute SHOULD be the full JID of the original sender in non-anonymous rooms, but MUST NOT be in semi-anonymous rooms (where the ‘from’ attribute SHOULD be set to the JID of the room itself). The service SHOULD send all discussion history messages before delivering any “live” messages sent after the user enters the room.

7.1.16

Managing Discussion History

A user MAY want to manage the amount of discussion history provided on entering a room (perhaps because the user is on a low-bandwidth connection or is using a small-footprint client). This MUST be accomplished by including a <history/> child in the initial presence stanza sent when joining the room. There are four allowable attributes for this element:

The service MUST send the smallest amount of traffic that meets any combination of the above criteria, taking into account service-level and room-level defaults. The service MUST send complete message stanzas only (i.e., it MUST not literally truncate the history at a certain number of characters, but MUST send the largest number of complete stanzas that results in a number of characters less than or equal to the ‘maxchars’ value specified). If the client wishes to receive no history, it MUST set the ‘maxchars’ attribute to a value of “0” (zero).

The following examples illustrate the use of this protocol.

Example 34. User Requests Limit on Number of Messages in History

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>
    <history maxstanzas='20'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

Example 35. User Requests History in Last 3 Minutes

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>
    <history seconds='180'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

Example 36. User Requests All History Since the Beginning of the Unix Era

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>
    <history since='1970-01-01T00:00:00Z'/>
  </x>
</presence>
      

Obviously the service SHOULD NOT return all messages sent in the room since the beginning of the Unix era, and SHOULD appropriately limit the amount of history sent to the user based on service or room defaults.

Example 37. User Requests No History

<presence
    from='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'>

7.5.1

Direct Invitation

A method for sending a direct invitation (not mediated by the room itself) is defined in

Direct MUC Invitations

[

15

]. Sending the invitation directly can help to work around communications blocking on the part of the invitee (which might refuse communication with entities not in its roster).

7.5.2

Mediated Invitation

It can be useful to invite another user to a room in which one is an occupant. To do this, a MUC client MUST send XML of the following form to the <room@service> itself (the reason is OPTIONAL and the message MUST be explicitly or implicitly of type “normal”):

Example 47. Occupant Sends an Invitation by Way of Room

<message
    from='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <invite to='hecate@shakespeare.lit'>
      <reason>
        Hey Hecate, this is the place for all good witches!
      </reason>
    </invite>
  </x>
</message>
      

The <room@service> itself MUST then add a ‘from’ address to the <invite/> element whose value is the bare JID, full JID, or room JID of the invitor and send the invitation to the invitee specified in the ‘to’ address (the service MAY include a message body explaining the invitation or containing the reason, for the sake of older clients; in addition, the room SHOULD add the password if the room is password-protected):

Example 48. Room Sends Invitation to Invitee on Behalf of Invitor

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='hecate@shakespeare.lit'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <invite from='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'>
      <reason>
        Hey Hecate, this is the place for all good witches!
      </reason>
    </invite>
    <password>cauldronburn</password>
  </x>
</message>
      

If the room is members-only, the service MAY also add the invitee to the member list. (Note: Invitation privileges in members-only rooms SHOULD be restricted to room admins; if a member without privileges to edit the member list attempts to invite another user, the service SHOULD return a <forbidden/> error to the occupant; for details, see the

Modifying the Member List

section of this document.)

If the invitor supplies a non-existent JID, the room SHOULD return an <item-not-found/> error to the invitor.

The invitee MAY choose to formally decline (as opposed to ignore) the invitation; and this is something that the sender may want to be informed about. In order to decline the invitation, the invitee MUST send a message of the following form to the <room@service> itself:

Example 49. Invitee Declines Invitation

<message
    from='hecate@shakespeare.lit/broom'
    to='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <decline to='crone1@shakespeare.lit'>
      <reason>
        Sorry, I'm too busy right now.
      </reason>
    </decline>
  </x>
</message>
      

Example 50. Room Informs Invitor that Invitation Was Declined

<message
    from='darkcave@chat.shakespeare.lit'
    to='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <decline from='hecate@shakespeare.lit'>
      <reason>
        Sorry, I'm too busy right now.
      </reason>
    </decline>
  </x>
</message>
      

It may be wondered why the invitee does not send the decline message directly to the invitor. The main reason is that certain implementations MAY choose to base invitations on room JIDs rather than bare JIDs (so that, for example, an occupant could invite someone from one room to another without knowing that person’s bare JID). Thus the service MUST handle both the invites and declines.
