[JDEV] roster managment and the server

[Keith Minkler]

Robert..

This is the correct behavior..

Because you did not request your roster, (with the iq get), you will not recieve any part of your roster, even the roster pushes (the iq sets from the server).

however, an iq MUST return *something*, which is why you get the result only.

if you don't request the server, you are telling it that you don't want to see any roster items or roster pushes.. so this is what it should be doing, in this case.
