[Serusers] Windows Messenger 5.0

[dhiraj.2.bhuyan at bt.com]

I don't know the default time between subscribes (but it should not be more than a few mins) - but use ethereal to see the network traffic.
Also note that there is another bug with messenger 5.0 - it tries to send an instant message with the INVITE method instead of MESSAGE method (as per the standard). So instant messaging does not work with 5.0. Like someone suggested, use 4.6. But I prefer using linphone and kphone - they are very much reliable.

What is that amount of time between subscribes?  They never seem to update
no matter how long I leave them up.

Maybe you missed my reply. Should answer your question - appending it again.

When UserA sends a SUBSCRIBE message to UserB, if UserB has UserA in its
list, it sends back a OK message. However it is not smart enough to update
the status of UserA (to online) on its own list. It just waits for its turn
to send the SUBSCRIBE message to UserA and then only if it gets an OK
response back from UserA will it update the status of UserA on its list. So
if you let UserA and UserB to be both online for a certain duration of time
( == time between two SUBSCRIBE attempts atleast), you will see the correct
status. Another stupid MS implememtation.

Let me rephrase.  I don't think it is SER.  And I do agree it is Messenger.
When UserA signs out, the update is immediately seen by UserB that UserA is
offline.  So, where is the update failing?

I can't say it's a messenger issue.  Messenger wants a contact list, and to
show you who is online and offline.  Your phone doesn't do that.  The phone
talks to SER to see if the person is signed in.  Or does kphone and sipc
show users signed in?

I have made exactly the same observation. I treat it as a problem with 
Messenger as it works fine between two kphone UAs or between sipc and 
kphone. I'm running ser 0.8.12.
