What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set up a server with a PubSub service (e.g. by loading pep) 2. Publish a PubSub item without any payload What is the expected output? A proper bad-request error with invalid-payload application-specific condition. What do you see instead? internal-server-error. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? name='Prosody' version='0.11.2' os='Linux' (Debian stable) Please provide any additional information below. Reproducer IQ: <iq to="accountjid" type="set"> <pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"> <publish node="testnode"> <item/> </publish> </pubsub> </iq>

I filed https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/898 to make the wording in XEP-0060 clear.

Thanks for the report. mod_pep and mod_pubsub both have a callback responsible for ensuring that the item really is an <item> with the correct xmlns. I'm adding a check for the correct number of child tags here, which should fix this this.
