[JDEV] Presence subscription

[Richard Dobson]

As already mentioned for you to be able to receive packets like presence
subscription packets as soon as they are sent you must be online, not just
logged in, the process needs to be done like this.

Connect to server
Authenticate
Request roster
Send online presence

It sounds like you are not doing the send online presence stage, this might
also be why you are not getting offline messages as going online is what
triggers delivery to the client.

> Dear all... I just thought that as some form of closure I should put the
answer to the question I asked the other day about presence packets (you
never know, it may help someone in the future).

here was that I was testing my client on a windows server and the minute I
tested it on my linux implementation server, the presence packets came
through just fine!!!!

are only delivered to the recipient if they log out and then in again??? Or
do I have to reload the roster in order to receive them?  Is that what
triggers it??
