When responding to a ping from elsewhere in the same Prosody the send
function will be host_send from core.hostmanager, which does not return
anything. Tailcalling it therefore lets the iq event fall trough to
handle_unhandled_stanza in core.stanza_router, which responds with an
error. This error also goes into handle_unhandled_stanza which discards
it.
Noticed because I have a module that points out when a stanza error
reply is created without a text argument.
17:27:40 <Ge0rG> Zash: the Ping thing is absolutely worthless
17:27:55 <Zash> The command provided by mod_ping?
17:27:59 <pep.> To own server?
17:28:14 <Ge0rG> the Ping command in mod_admin_web, whatever it maps to
17:28:29 <Ge0rG> > Pong

What am I supposed to do with that result?
17:28:29 <Zash> Yeah, mod_ping provides that
17:28:41 <Ge0rG> Is it a ping to my own server? Where's the RTT?
17:28:48 <Zash> Dunno if it's useful for more than verifying that the adhoc command system works
17:29:02 <Ge0rG> (it lags, but there is no indication of how much)
17:29:14 <Zash> It can't really test that itself
17:29:52 <Zash> Anyone opposed to deleting it?
17:30:42 <Zash> Half the module
17:42:47 <MattJ> Zash, I'm fine with removing it
