Openfire 3.8.1 Avatar using Pubsub (XEP-0084) not working after upgrade

Hi All,

I'm new to the XMPP devel scene.

Background:

We are adding chat functionality to our website and would like to have avatars. We are using XEP-0084 to publish an avatar.

We managed to get this to work on Openfire 3.7.1.

Issue:

After we upgraded to 3.8.1 avatar publishing stopped working. It does not publish the avatar and no errors are thrown.

I can see it creates entries in ofPubsubNode but not in ofPubsubItem.

The iq messages that I send to publish are as follows:

Publish avatar data:

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" id="publish1" type="set" from="nevis@antony-debug">

    <pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub">

        <publish node="urn:xmpp:avatar:data">

            <item id="27446B47E92CEDDF16CFD5324DE1C3EC472333DD">

                <data xmlns="urn:xmpp:avatar:data">iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAGQAAABLCAIAAAA...(The base64 encoded image)</data>

            </item>

        </publish>

    </pubsub>

</iq>

Publish avatar metadata:

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" id="publish2" type="set" from="nevis@antony-debug">

    <pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub">

        <publish node="urn:xmpp:avatar:metadata">

            <item id="27446B47E92CEDDF16CFD5324DE1C3EC472333DD">

                <metadata xmlns="urn:xmpp:avatar:metadata">

                    <info bytes="19408" id="27446B47E92CEDDF16CFD5324DE1C3EC472333DD" type="image/png" />

                </metadata>

            </item>

        </publish>

    </pubsub>

</iq>

Note: If an avatar already exists subscribers can request it and they do get the data.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Antony
