Hi all. I am writing a client-server system that intends to be XMPP-
compliant. My initial development work on the client establishes a
connection with an eJabberd server. After establishing a session,
my client issues an "empty" presence stanza (no "to" or "type"
attribute, in accord with the XMPP-CORE spec: section 5.1 Initial
Presence).
One of the presence responses I receive is "from" and "to" my own
client instance (resource). This surprises me. The spec says:
"In addition, the user's server MUST broadcast initial presence from
the user's new available resource to any of the user's existing
available resources (if any)."
However, my own instance (resource) was not an existing resource. But
I guess this is all a matter of timing.
Although the issuance of such presence to the resource from the
client isn't prohibited by the spec, I'm just curious how to mentally
categorize it in the context of XMPP: that is, is the receipt of such
a presence stanza an idiosyncrasy of the particular server
implementation?
Thanks in advance from an XMPP newbie.
