[JDEV] conference room creation with MUC

[Rob Davis]

OK - I've written a room config form parser and here's where i've now
got up to:

If I create the room by sending presence to it (as with the original
group chat protocol) and then request the config form by <iq> "get",
parse
it, write the response form, alter the values as required, send it back
by <iq> "set" - it seems to work (except for note about public below).

However, if I don't send presence to the room first (as I need to do -
this is why I am using MUC) and I send an <iq> "get" request for the
room config form, the form arrives not as an <iq> "result" but as an <x>
element within a normal <message>. If I now parse the form as before,
and sent my <iq> "set" command to change the form values.... it doesn't
work!! (Though i do get an <iq>  "result" back).

If I alternatively put the form into a <message> back to the server with
the new data in an <x> element (mimicking the format of the server
response), I get the form back with an error 403 "Forbidden".

So, basically, if I want to create the room using the new config forms
_only_, as one can do according to JEP45, it does not seem to work as
expected. (According to the JEP, one should get an <iq> "result" not a
<message> in response to the <iq> "get" request).

Hoping to get there eventually!

Rob
