Question about presence, when i don’t share my presence with a contact, but he with me, how does his server know that i am online and that i want his presence?

as my server is not allowed to send to the other server that im online

oh i guess the remote server just sends the presence only whenever the presence changes

Yes. Your server may also request their latest presence (by sending a presence probe)

ah, nice

i have a situation where in my roster i have a contact with subscription=from

and in the roster on the other server, iam with subscription=none

this should not be possible or?

It's not normal, no. It can happen though... e.g. due to server downtime or data being restored from a backup. However there is a healing mechanism that should lead them to synchronize state.

I guess from/none may not update since the other server wouldn't ever send a probe

i can reproduce this with the movim server 100% of the time

if i am (acc on movim server) change the roster contact to "from"

movim server sends me back a roster push with subscription = none

hm maybe im doing something wrong

as clients send only presence, we do not change the subscription state of the roster

it happens when i want to remove his right to see my presence

maybe i have to read up on that

look at this interaction

i request the roter, as prove subscription is "both"

then i send "unsubscribed", server answers correctly with "from"

then sends immediatly "none"

Do you have any other clients logged in on the same account?

Some might automatically unsubscribe from someone who unsubscribes from you

Yes. Good tip will look into it
