We don't send a timestamp when sending a ping, this was last touched in http://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/f12655ab11a9, but before that we didn't seem to either.

This also modifies the command help text to match the code.

I don't think I ever noticed there was a /ping command!

Nit: add a period.

The "command.ping2" string itself is missing from this patch.

Well it apparently didn't work! :)

This string doesn't exist anymore, I ended up keeping the original (see the first patch if you want to see where it came from).

Also this is untested, I need to test it before we check it in.

I remember Florian being uncomfortable with this patch because we use a time that is sent to us from another user instead of using random-ish IDs and keeping a log of when we sent things. I'm giving him a chance to shoot this down now! ;)

Patch v3

*** Original change on bio 2165 attmnt 2866 at 2013-10-03 19:38:21 UTC ***

new Date(String(Date.now())) in my error console returns "Invalid Date", so either I missed something, or the patch doesn't work.

Giving to the new Date() constructor a random string coming from the network makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. I think I would really prefer |new Date(parseInt(aMessage.params[0], 10))|

Nit: aMessage.params[0] is used several times in the "PONG" method. Maybe use an intermediary variable?

It's not clear to me why we are displaying in seconds a value that we receive in ms. And I suspect PluralForm expects an integer, and may not have a well defined behavior for other numbers.

I also wonder if we should avoid displaying results if the value is crazy (ie. if |Date.now() - sentTime| is less than 0, or more than a minute).

Changing the string meaning without changing the id won't do.

Apart from that, I dislike the code duplication but I'm willing to pretend I haven't seen it :).

From a quick look I don't have other comments on the rest of the code, and I'm happy to go with aleth's review for it.

As you've renamed it, please move this to the block where all the other message.* strings live.

Trivial comment: I think it would be better if the name of the new method was an 'action' (eg. handlePingReply).

I agree with aleth's comments, and don't need to review the next version. Thanks for the update! :)
