Usage

Now that we have the archive component running, how do we use it? Currently, the only way to activate and modify the component is through XMPP stanzas. Lets first begin by getting our default settings from the component:

<iq type='get' id='prefq'>
  <pref xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'/>
</iq>

It’s a short stanza, but it will tell us what we need to know, Note that you do not need a from or a to for this stanza. The result is as follows:

<iq type='result' id='prefq' to='admin@domain.com/cpu'>
<pref xmlns='urn:xmpp:archive'>
<auto save='false'/>
<default otr='forbid' muc-save="false" save="body"/>
<method use="prefer" type="auto"/>
<method use="prefer" type="local"/>
<method use="prefer" type="manual"/>
</prefq>
</iq>

See below for what these settings mean.
