[TriLUG] Jabber server outage

[Joel Ebel]

Where did you come across this?  There's a right way to do it.  Other 
clients don't seem to have a problem with it.  It's defined by JEP-0077. 
  http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0077.html  If a client wants to know 
how to register it should send this:

<iq type='get' id='reg1'>
   <query xmlns='jabber:iq:register'/>
</iq>

If supported, the server will respond with precisely what fields are 
required to register.  If there's an old method, it's no longer in the 
standards.  If it comes down to it, the old method should be ignored if 
that's what it takes to support the new method.
