Hey All,

XEP-0199 defines that if a server or client does not support ping it should return the following stanza:

<iq from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/balcony' to='capulet.lit' id='s2c1' type='error'>
  <ping xmlns='urn:xmpp:ping'/>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</iq>

or

<iq from='capulet.lit' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/balcony' id='c2s1' type='error'>
  <ping xmlns='urn:xmpp:ping'/>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</iq>

I beg, is that not the same as a pong? Shouldn't the server/client rather ignore the packet if it doesn't allow pings? Unless of course, the packet is structured as follows (as per XEP-0076):

<iq from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/balcony' to='capulet.lit' id='c2s1' type='get'>
  <ping xmlns='urn:xmpp:ping'/>
  <evil xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/evil'/>
</iq>

Just a thought.

Cheers,
 Jonathan Dickinson
