Get SID & RID using strophe.js

Question

How can I get the SID & RID when connecting to a XMPP server using strophejs ? I am using Ejabbered as the XMPP server.

Here is my code

        $

I get the RID and SID from my strophe connection by adding a function to connection.xmlOutput. This gives the ability to view the outgoing stanza's before they're sent. Here is an example:

      connection.xmlOutput = function (e) {
        if (IS_CONNECTED) {

            LAST_USED_RID = $(e).attr('rid');
            LAST_USED_SID = $(e).attr('sid');
            log(' XMLOUTPUT INFO - OUTGOING RID=' + LAST_USED_RID + ' [SID=' + LAST_USED_SID + ']');
            //log(' XMLOUTPUT INFO - OUTGOING XML = \n'+e.outerHTML);
            //set some variables to keep track of our rid and sid
        }
    };

You may also be able to access the RID and SID properties from connection's ._proto, ex:

connection._proto.rid
