[Question] get roster when connected

[LightZam]

i think developer should has the chance to disable automatic get roster when connected, sometimes it will reconnect by network problem, but developer do not want get roster again

QXmppRosterManger.cpp

check = connect(client, SIGNAL(connected()),
                this, SLOT(_q_connected()));

void QXmppRosterManager::_q_connected()
{
    QXmppRosterIq roster;
    roster.setType(QXmppIq::Get);
    roster.setFrom(client()->configuration().jid());
    d->rosterReqId = roster.id();
    if (client()->isAuthenticated())
        client()->sendPacket(roster);
}

if you agree this opinion, i will pull request

IMO it is good to always get a full version of the roster on connect just in case it was modified during that short disconnect period. A better solution for conserving bandwidth is to implement http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0237.html and use servers supporting this XEP.

okay, it looks like this effort belong to server side...

Another solution is, if you don't want to use the roster at all (for example as a bot only sending messages), you can also disable the roster manager completely by removing the extension.

The proper issue for roster versioning can be found here #164, so I'm closing this.
