XMPP Registration is generating 400 bad request error

Question

I am trying to implement a XMPP Chat client in Windows Phone 8.1 using this library . Since this library does not support new user registration, I am trying to include this in the source code. I've used separate ServerFeaturesState for registration and named it as RegisterServerFeaturesState . Now when I send registration stanza, I get error code 400.
Here's what I am sending -

<iq id="U4" type="set" xmlns="jabber:client">
  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register">
    <username>user@domain.lt/RESOURCE</username>
    <password>password1234</password>
  </query>
</iq>

and here's what I am getting in return -

<iq from="domain.lt" id="U5" type="error" xmlns="jabber:client">
  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register">
    <username>user@domain.lt/RESOURCE</username>
    <password>password1234</password>
  </query>
  <error code="400" type="modify">
    <bad-request xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas" />
  </error>
  <!--[TS]1/6/2015 4:45:37 PM-->
</iq>

I am using the following code in Execute method of my state -

public override void Execute(Tag data = null)
        {
#if DEBUG
            Manager.Events.LogMessage(this, LogType.Debug, "Starting RegisterServerFeaturesState Execution "+data);
#endif
            tags.streams.features features = null;
            tags.jabber.client.iq iqRoot = null;

            if (data is tags.streams.stream)
            {
                tags.streams.stream stream = data as tags.streams.stream;
                if (!stream.version.StartsWith("1."))
                {
                    Manager.Events.Error(this, ErrorType.XMPPVersionNotSupported, ErrorPolicyType.Deactivate, "Expecting stream:features from 1.x server");
                    return;
                }
                features = stream.features;

                                    Manager.IsRegistrationRequestSent = true;
                                    return;
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Here's what getting registration instruction tells

<iq from="domain.lt" id="U3" type="result" xmlns="jabber:client">
  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register">
    <instructions>Choose a username and password to register with this server</instructions>
    <username></username>
    <password />
  </query>

I am not sure what Error code 400 means. Am I forgetting something in the registration stanza?

Answer 1

In your registration request, you specify a full JID (username, server and resource):

<username>user@domain.lt/RESOURCE</username>

However, servers usually expect just a username there, so try this instead:

<username>user</username>

I can't see that this is explicitly spelled out in XEP-0077 , but at least it's what the examples are showing.
