Description George Goldberg 2009-04-01 14:46:12 UTC

If I attempt to set the presence on a connection before connecting it, and the CM doesn't support this, then my Connection->setSelfPresence() call will fail. In this case, I think the library should return a success instead and store the presence requested, setting it immediately after I connect the connection.

(As discussed with Olli and Andre on IRC).

Also, this is a blocker for t-a-k, so it would be great to get it fixed asap :)

The Connection setting self presence functionality is nowadays only useful when not using an AM ie. never in real applications unless you're the AM yourself.

Will be moved to a ConnectionLowLevel class in 0.5.0. As a low-level method, it doesn't need and shouldn't have, in fact, high-level semantics like this (for full control where it's needed).
