[OpenSIPS-Users] Regarding watchers in OpenSIPS

[Anca Vamanu]

Hi Mahesh,

OpenSIPS presence works as described in RFC 3856 for presence event and 
RFC 3857 for presence.winfo. (Your questions are in fact about how this 
protocol work.., but I will help you anyway).

So, to get the status of a buddy you need a SUBSCRIBE for 'presence'.
Look if there a a subscribe with Event: presence sent from alice to bob. 
And if there is the when you change the status of bob to 'busy' you will 
see a Notify sent to alice woth bob's new state.

The Subscribe for 'presence.winfo' is for a user to know who has 
subscribed to their presence state. So if bob subscribed to 
presence.winfo and alice subscribed for presence to bob,  the bob will 
receive a Notify in which he will be announced that he has a watcher - 
alice.

What client are you using? Make sure you have clicked the 'show status' 
option for the contact in the buddy list. Watch the traces for Subscribe 
with header 'Event:presence'.

regards,
Anca
