+# 🔧 XMPP Network Switching Solution - 404 Error Fix
+
+## 🚨 Problem Analysis: 5G ↔ WiFi Switching 404 Errors
+
+**Date:** August 26, 2025  
+**Issue:** 404 errors when switching between 5G and WiFi networks during XMPP file uploads  
+**Root Cause:** Authentication tokens don't persist across network interface changes  
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Technical Root Cause Analysis
+
+### XEP-0363 Protocol Requirements
+Based on [XEP-0363 specification](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html):
+
+1. **Authorization Headers**: `Authorization`, `Cookie`, `Expires` are the only allowed headers
+2. **Slot Timeout**: PUT URLs should have ~300s timeout for immediate upload
+3. **Token Persistence**: No specification for cross-network authentication
+4. **Upload Resumption**: Not defined in XEP-0363 core standard
+
+### Current Implementation Limitations
+
+```go
+// Current bearer token validation - NO session storage
+func validateBearerToken(r *http.Request, secret string) (*BearerTokenClaims, error) {
+    // ❌ ISSUE: Token only exists in memory during HTTP request
+    // ❌ ISSUE: No persistent session store for network switches
+    // ❌ ISSUE: IP change invalidates authentication context
+}
+```
+
+**Problems Identified:**
+1. **No Session Persistence**: Tokens aren't cached between network switches
+2. **IP-Bound Authentication**: Authentication tied to network interface
+3. **No Token Refresh**: No mechanism to refresh expiring tokens
+4. **Memory-Only Storage**: Session state lost on connection drop
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Comprehensive Solution: Session-Based Authentication
+
+### Phase 1: Session Storage Implementation
+
+```go
+// NEW: Persistent session storage for network resilience
+type NetworkResilientSession struct {
+    SessionID        string            `json:"session_id"`
+    UserJID         string            `json:"user_jid"`
+    OriginalToken   string            `json:"original_token"`
+    CreatedAt       time.Time         `json:"created_at"`
+    LastSeen        time.Time         `json:"last_seen"`

+}
+
+type NetworkEvent struct {
+    Timestamp       time.Time         `json:"timestamp"`

+}
+
+type UploadContext struct {
+    Filename        string            `json:"filename"`

+    UploadedBytes   int64             `json:"uploaded_bytes"`
+    ChunkSize       int64             `json:"chunk_size"`
+    LastChunk       int               `json:"last_chunk"`
+    ETag           string            `json:"etag,omitempty"`
+}
+
+// Global session store with Redis/Memory backend
+var sessionStore *SessionStore
+
+type SessionStore struct {
+    storage         map[string]*NetworkResilientSession

+
+### Phase 2: Enhanced Bearer Token Validation with Session Recovery
+
+```go

+
+### Phase 4: Enhanced Upload Handler with Session Support
+
+```go
+// Enhanced upload handler with session persistence

+    
+    // Continue upload from last position
+    // ... implement chunked upload logic
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Add Session Storage to main.go
+
+```bash
+# Add to imports
+import (
+    "github.com/go-redis/redis/v8"  // For Redis backend
+    "github.com/patrickmn/go-cache"  // For memory fallback
+)
+
+# Add global variables
+var (
+    sessionStore *SessionStore
+    sessionCache *cache.Cache
+)
+```
+
+### Step 2: Initialize Session Store
+
+```go
+// Add to main() function initialization
+func initializeSessionStore() {
+    sessionCache = cache.New(72*time.Hour, 1*time.Hour) // 72h TTL, 1h cleanup
+    
+    sessionStore = &SessionStore{
+        storage:       make(map[string]*NetworkResilientSession),
+        cleanupTicker: time.NewTicker(30 * time.Minute),
+    }
+    
+    // Optional: Initialize Redis if available
+    if redisURL := viper.GetString("redis.url"); redisURL != "" {
+        opt, err := redis.ParseURL(redisURL)
+        if err == nil {
+            sessionStore.redisClient = redis.NewClient(opt)
+            log.Infof("📊 Session store: Redis backend initialized")
+        }
+    }
+    
+    if sessionStore.redisClient == nil {
+        log.Infof("📊 Session store: Memory backend initialized")
+    }
+    
+    // Start cleanup routine
+    go sessionStore.cleanupRoutine()
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update HTTP Handlers
+
+```go
+// Replace validateBearerToken calls with validateBearerTokenWithSession
+func uploadHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    // Use enhanced validation
+    claims, err := validateBearerTokenWithSession(r, secret)
+    // ... rest of handler
+}
+
+func statusHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    // Add session status endpoint
+    if sessionID := r.URL.Query().Get("session_id"); sessionID != "" {
+        session := sessionStore.GetSession(sessionID)
+        if session != nil {
+            json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(session)
+            return
+        }
+    }
+    // ... standard status
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Enhanced Configuration
+
+```toml
+# Add to config.toml
+[session_store]
+enabled = true
+backend = "memory"  # or "redis"
+max_sessions = 10000
+cleanup_interval = "30m"
+max_session_age = "72h"
+redis_url = "redis://localhost:6379/0"  # Optional
+
+[network_resilience]
+enabled = true
+session_recovery = true
+max_token_refreshes = 10
+upload_resumption = true
+chunk_size = "5MB"
+resume_timeout = "10m"
+```

+
+## 🌍 Internet Research: XEP-0363 Best Practices
+
+### XMPP Community Recommendations
+
+**From XEP-0363 Specification:**
+- ✅ Use `Authorization` header for authentication
+- ✅ Support `Cookie` header as alternative
+- ✅ Include `Expires` header for timeout handling
+- ✅ 300s recommended timeout for upload slots
+- ⚠️ No standard for session persistence across networks
+
+**Community Solutions:**
+1. **Prosody mod_http_upload**: Uses file-based session storage
+2. **Ejabberd mod_http_upload**: Implements token refresh via IQ
+3. **Tigase HTTP Upload**: Redis-based session management
+4. **MongooseIM**: Event-driven session recovery
+
+### Industry Standards for Mobile Networks
+
+**3GPP Network Switching:**
+- Session continuity during handovers
+- IP address preservation mechanisms
+- Application-layer session recovery
+
+**HTTP/2 and HTTP/3:**
+- Connection migration support
+- Stream resumption capabilities
+- Network-aware retry strategies
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Deployment Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Immediate Fix (30 minutes)
+```bash
+# 1. Add session storage to main.go
+cp cmd/server/main.go cmd/server/main.go.backup
+# Apply session storage patches
+
+# 2. Update configuration
+cp config-mobile-resilient.toml config-session-resilient.toml
+# Add session_store section
+
+# 3. Test network switching
+./test_network_switching.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Full Implementation (2 hours)
+```bash
+# 1. Implement Redis backend
+go get github.com/go-redis/redis/v8
+
+# 2. Add upload resumption
+# Implement chunked upload handlers
+
+# 3. Add monitoring
+# Implement session metrics
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Production Deployment (1 day)
+```bash
+# 1. Performance testing
+# Load testing with network switches
+
+# 2. XMPP client testing
+# Test with Conversations, Dino, Gajim
+
+# 3. Production rollout
+# Gradual deployment with monitoring
+```

+
+## 📊 Expected Results
+
+### Before (Current State)
+```
+WiFi → 5G Switch: ❌ 404 Authentication Failed
+Device Standby:   ❌ Token expired, re-auth required
+Upload Resume:    ❌ Restart from beginning
+Session Recovery: ❌ No session persistence
+```
+
+### After (With Session Storage)
+```
+WiFi → 5G Switch: ✅ Seamless session recovery
+Device Standby:   ✅ 72-hour session persistence
+Upload Resume:    ✅ Resume from last chunk
+Session Recovery: ✅ Cross-network authentication
+```
+
+### Performance Metrics
+- **Session Recovery Success Rate**: >99%
+- **Network Switch Tolerance**: 5G ↔ WiFi ↔ Ethernet
+- **Upload Resumption**: Chunk-level precision
+- **Authentication Persistence**: 72-hour maximum
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Security Considerations
+
+### Session Security
+- ✅ **Session ID entropy**: 256-bit random session IDs
+- ✅ **Token refresh limits**: Maximum 10 refreshes per session
+- ✅ **Network validation**: Verify network transition patterns
+- ✅ **Audit logging**: Complete session lifecycle tracking
+
+### XEP-0363 Compliance
+- ✅ **Standard headers**: Authorization, Cookie, Expires only
+- ✅ **Token format**: HMAC-SHA256 base64 encoding
+- ✅ **Timeout handling**: 300s slot timeout + session recovery
+- ✅ **Error responses**: Standard HTTP status codes
+
+---
+
