[JDEV] Multiple logins

[Matthew Miller]

I think you idea is good, except for one thing.  The IP address would be a
bad thing to broadcast like that, even if its just back to the offended (?)
client.  The problem I see is this is a potential security risk, since we're
openly broadcasting the IP of someone using a service.

For me at least, it would be nice to just get the "reason" for the problem,
though.

The server handles this strangely.  All it sends to the client 
that is being disconnected is this:
<stream:error>Disconnected</stream:error>

I suspect that Jarl just automatically tries to reconnect when
it gets disconnected for some unknown reason.  If the server made
it known that the reason a client was disconnected was because
of the other signin, the a client could know not to reconnect.

It would be nice if the server indicated the Disconnect reason,
with something like:
<stream:error reason="duplicate">Disconnected</stream:error>

It might also be nice if the server sent the IP of the connection
that booted the other off.  Clients can then tell the user the
IP that booted them off.

<stream:error reason="duplicate" from="1.2.3.4">Disconnected</stream:error>
