Good day.

Question
========

Is it possible for XMPP clients to actively probe for presence?


JabberCard
==========

I have created JabberCard, an HTML invitation page for XMPP.

https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/JabberCard

https://git.0ut0f.space/doesnm/JabberCard

JabberCard is based on the module Slixmpp and is an XMPPP client.


Idea
====

Months ago, I was advised to add support for status, mood, and activity.

I think that it is a good idea.


Presence
========

However, it appears that actively probing for presence by XMPPP clients
is not specified in the standard.

According to the standard, only servers handle that task.

4.3. Presence Probes

> Presence probes SHOULD NOT be sent by a client, because in general a
> client will not need to send them since the task of gathering
> presence from a user's contacts is managed by the user's server.
> However, if a user's client generates an outbound presence probe then
> the user's server SHOULD route the probe (if the contact is at
> another server) or process the probe (if the contact is at the same
> server) and MUST NOT use its receipt of the presence probe from a
> connected client as the sole cause for returning a stanza or stream
> error to the client.

Is it possible for XMPP clients to actively probe for presence?

Please advise.
