[jdev] XEP-0115: Entity Capabilities

Hi,

Tonight I implemented XEP-0115 into libpurple (the receiving end, not  
the sending one). When testing it, I discovered that both Gajim and  
the py-transports (pyaim-t and pyicq-t) don't implement this properly  
at all (my only two test candidates I had available in addition to my  
own implementation). Do I miss something here?
Both announce their capabilities by that extension to the presence  
stanza, Gajim even announces two ext values, ftrans and xhtml.  
However, Gajim does not respond to disco#info queries to those nodes,  
and replies with a generic disco#info reply instead. The py  
transports use the same stanza for both themselves and their clients,  
which do not have the same features, so my client has a misconception  
about the capabilities, depending on which one it asks first.

Is this XEP not really expected to be implemented by anybody? If so,  
why do all clients announce <c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/ 
caps'/> in their presence stanzas?

Maybe I should just file bug reports with those projects and hope  
that they will get fixed some time in the future...
