When I try to register a new XMPP account within Jitsi (v2.9.5458 on Mac OS X 10.9.5) it always fails with:
"Unknown XMPP-error (XMPPError connecting to jit.si:5222.). Check if the name of the server is correct.(translated from German)
I tried to register on different XMPP server like jit.si, swissjabber.ch or jabber.ccc.de without success. When I register the account with Adium, I can use the existing account with Jitsi without problem. Only the registration fails.

The underlying bug is IIRC that we don't lookup the SRV with the real address for the server, but instead try to connect to the domainname directly. This is obviously wrong. Shouldn't be too hard to fix though.

Update: this is the exact error from the Jitsi Log file:
2015-06-18 13:32:01.497 SCHWERWIEGEND: [97] plugin.jabberaccregwizz.JabberAccountCreationForm.createJabberAccount().171 XMPPError connecting to jit.si:5222.: remote-server-error(502) XMPPError connecting to jit.si:5222.

I am only seeing the discussion now. I don't understand the reasoning. I don't feel strongly about it but I don't see exactly how we are solving what is a server-side issue by disabling it on the client side.

@emcho It's not a server side issue. We don't perform SRV lookups when determining the server to register with. And the used XMPPConnection object doesn't use the certificate service nor does it ensure a secure connection.
