[Serusers] presence, buddies

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,
you are right, the buddies are not sent to SIP clients, they are 
ignored. I just checked a little bit and I did not find some 
specification for buddy list downloading using SIP. If you have such 
links, please provide us. We have tried to implement only what is 
specified in RFCs or IETF drafts regarding the presence and instant 
messaging. I know that MSN Messenger (and many other IM clients) can get 
the buddy list from MSN server but I guess it uses its own protocol for 
that.

Best regards,
Daniel
