[sr-dev] Your opinion about presence subscription blocking actions

[Edson - Lists]

As far as Alice and Bob have the same interpretation, yes.

The problem here, isn't the blocking message itself, but the way it will 
be interpreted by both sides... The best would be have some kind of 
blocking message/mechanism that would leave no doubts about the real 
reason of the block. Believing that all Alices and Bobs out there would 
have the same interpretation is, at least, a flaw point.

But again, "403 Forbidden" for the SUBSCRIBE would work for sure.

Edson.
