[jdev] PubSub subscription stanzas

[Julien Genestoux]

Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a project that involves a XMPP PubSub mechanism.
I am trying to implement a component that will manage this since we don't
want to use a "full" PubSub server.

Our users will be able to subscribe to a source using both a XMPP client and
our web application.
When a user subscribes to a node using the XMPP client, it is easy, I just
have to follow what's given here :
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#subscriber-subscribe

However, when he subscribes from our web application, what kind of stanza
should I send, since the request is not coming from the xmpp client itself?
My idea was to send something like :

<iq type='result'
    from='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'
    to='francisco at denmark.lit/barracks'
    id='sub1'>
  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
    <subscription
        node='princely_musings'
        jid='francisco at denmark.lit'
        subid='ba49252aaa4f5d320c24d3766f0bdcade78c78d3'
        subscription='subscribed'/>
  </pubsub>
</iq>

But the 'result' in iq type feels weird, since my understdanding was that
resul corresponds to an action that was led by the client? Am I wrong? If
so, can I send something like type='set' ?

Thanks,
