Thank you very much for quick answers, one more
question though, I really need to get around this problem.
Is it possible to "translate" the buddy list into SIP and get the
status/presence messages sent to the sip client in a notify message WITHOUT sending all
these subscibe(´s).
No, that is currently not possible. There is a draft on this topic,
see draft-ietf-simple-event-list-00. It specifies how to send a single
SUBSCRIBE for a collection of events.
But this is a very recent document and I haven't seen any user agent
or server implementing it.
So it is not possible right now, it hasn't been standardized yet.
Jabber send this big load of buddies to the Ser (see
bellow in highlighted *2), who now just ignores them, but what if we split up all these
buddies and send them in notify´s to the client.
Question: is it possible to send a lot of notify´s without sending "subscribe"
to SER first.
No, NOTIFY messages are sent by the server only if the user agent asked
for it by sending a SUBSCRIBE to the server. What you propose is not
feasible.
Why, actually, is the SUBSCRIBE a problem ?
