[jdev] Keep alive packages? (XMPP:Ping)

[Chris Mullins]

I keep wondering, why isn't there an XMPP (Jabber) equivalent of a Ping?


This would solve all these problems, as well as this other issue, which
seems to come up often with the open-source server, of the network
connection being up, but the server not actually processing stanza's. 

This would be very useful for both s2s connections, and client
connections.

It's also a trivial IQ packet - a Get / Result - so certainly there are
no technical hurdles to cross...
