As a simple step, could a patch/branch to the Jabber server be made that checks for common client protocol mistakes and writes debug log messages for them? That'd make it easier for client implementors to find their bugs - by testing against such a modified server. It could also totally reject fully-invalid things like <show>normal</show> and return a presence error. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
