[JDEV] 302 Redirect

[Richard Dobson]

Hi,

My understanding is that a 302 redirect is supposed to be for telling the
client to re-connect to a specified server, for use in server farm or
similar.

E.g. as a response to an authentication the server may send:

<iq type="error" id="authtag" to=client at server.com from="server.com">
<error code="302">jabber2.server.com:5269</error>
</iq>

I dont think your use of 302 is correct, maybe your need a different error
code for your use.
