Sessions

Server-to-server sessions can be found in a few places.

Incoming sessions are kept in a table incoming_s2s that is attached to the prosody global and outgoing s2s connections are kept in s2sout on each local host session.

prosody.incoming_s2s[session].log("info", "Hello");
prosody.hosts["example.com"].s2sout["federated.example"].log("info", "Hello");

API

The API consists of two functions for creating sessions and two related to destroying them.

A new session is created with either new_outgoing(from_host, to_host) or new_incoming(conn) depending on whether the connection was initiated by the local instance or by a remote server.

destroy_session(session, reason) destroys a session, which includes sending error replies for any queued stanzas.

There is also retire_session() which cleans up the session prior to garbage collection, but this is called by destroy_session() so it rarely needs to be used directly.
