Re: Presence and Net::XMPP

Just a guess, based on this example posted in the CPAN doc:

$Pres->SetPresence(TYPE=>"away", StatuS=>"Out for lunch");
[download]

It looks like "TYPE" needs to be in caps.

This is not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.

I should have said that I have tried the uppercase variant - that does not matter. I guess the weird spelling of "StatuS" is the author's way of telling you that it's case-insensitive. I finally figured out what I need, even though I don't totally understand it (that I know hardly anything about the jabber protocol probably does not help). This seems to work: `$con->PresenceSend(type => "unavailable");` [download] However this does not: `$con->PresenceSend(type => "available");` [download] But this does: `$con->PresenceSend(to => 'mh@mh.com');` [download] Now my pi-client is green and available on my phone. I can only assume that in the jabber protocol you advertise your availability to certain jids, so leaving "to" out was the problem.... Strangely enough this does not work either: `$con->PresenceSend(type => "available", to => 'mh@mh.com');` [download] But now I can't be bothered anymore. I wonder if AnyEvent::XMPP would be a better libary....	[reply] [d/l] [select]
