[JDEV] Presence probes and AIM transport

Yup.  My client is sending presence probes.  For people who are
online with a Jabber client, I'm getting responses back from the
server.  If this isn't the "prescribed" way to find out if someone's
online, how is the client supposed to do it??

Uhhh... type="probe" is reserved for server use only. Normally, a 
client shouldn't even get a response to a <presence to="foo at bar.com" 
type="probe"/>

You want to say it actually works sometimes? Then they must have 
changed something. When I tried to add this to Jabbernaut half a year
ago, it didn't work. After long trying and reading the JServer 
source, and talking to several core ppl, I discovered that it just 
couldn't work cause it's only used by servers to ask other servers 
about the presence of ppl... In fact, we even changed JPG to reflect 
this.


Or did I get you somehow wrong? Please clarify.
