Hrm. Well before I get into answering that directly, I was wondering...
how many clients out there are good at letting you "log in" to a
transport? Like Psi is the only one I'm directly aware of that will let
you "log in" to a transport ... which I believe means nothing more than
sending a presence available packet to the transport. I know the gaim
based ones aren't real good at this . . . basically you have to trigger
"Online" or "Available" again and it will send the appropriate packet.
Maybe that's cool though. What I'm getting at here is, if it "sucks" to
have to log back in to a transport, then maybe it is good that the
transport reconnects people on respawn. I dunno, see part of the thing I
match this request up with is that many clients have a checkbox to
indicate "reconnect on disconnection". IMO, this is the same type of
functionality. The user indicates that yes, they would like to be
reconnected after a disconnect. Maybe that could be part of the choice:
A. Don't bother me
B. Please let me know (IM)
C. Please log me back in
BTW, I seem to be running into this problem with another one of my scripts
and was wondering.. isn't there supposed to be a way to say "DON'T
freakin' send this message if the user is offline!" I was under the
impression this was default in Jabber land, and you had to specify offline
message storage to make the message stick until they got back online. Am
I just misunderstanding something?
