nowhere in nip42 does it mention responding with a NOTICE.. i dont do this but i was thinking about it in addition to normal auth. is that what y'all expect now?
Discussion
if i understand mleku's he sends the auth in addition to a notice. cause he says clients are more likely to stop spamming that way.
I think there's room for both, clients can respond or not depending on how aggressively they wan to auth. If there are implicit access controls going on, the relay may choose to respond with some subset of data without notifying the user. Or it may notify so the user knows to authenticate because they're missing out.
This is the way I've implemented it in noStrudel. There's an option to enable signing auth as soon as it's received. But generally it waits till it sees a auth-required response
Your right. I made a mistake, it's not NOTICE, I meant OK and CLOSE
