#17461 closed defect (wontfix)

Client does not find responsible jabber servers (not parsing SRV DNS records)

Description

Jabber servers can be defined using SRV records. (​http://prosody.im/doc/dns, ​http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/SRV_Records)

e.g. the nic max@… can have xmpp servers that do not listen on the example.com servers but on xmpp.example.com. These would be defined in a SRV record, see links.

It seems the client does not check for these records, as it tries to connect to example.com directly.

current workaround is to define xmpp.example.com as server manually in the advanced options.

IB closed that bug (787369) but they did it by bypassing the remote dns config, which is dangerous for us. We should be very careful here when moving to ESR 52. I think there's a switch to turn it off though, which is helpful.
