Re: [Gaim-devel] jabber xml parser

[<mx...@gr...>]

hi, all:
 
   sorry about the late post. gaim's debug routines(console) print out
the debug message in the right encoding (although the raw stream is in UTF-8, 
i sniffered and used other jabber client - gossip to find out),  i thought
gaim's output is  definately raw, but i am wrong. 

And finally i got the answer to my original problem. 
when gaim sends "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items" request,
the server replies <error code="404">ERROR MESSAGE<error>, the ERROR MESSAGE
is in Chinese GB2312(or GBK) encoding, that should not happen. I tried 
another server, the reply was the same (error 404) but the ERROR MESSAGE is in English.

it seems that the server runs an old version jabber server (jabberd 1.4.2?, 
i am not sure) which doesn't support Service Discovery. It is the server's problem,
bad luck. :(, so i just removed the Service Discovery request, and worked great.

thanks all.
