[Psi-Devel] Psi misbehaviour?

[Michał Jazłowiecki]

Welcome,

A comment to my original post from a friend, that somehow didn't make it 
to the list (was sent through Google Groups, 
http://groups.google.com/group/psi-devel/browse_thread/thread/4d884b0b5ed91ae7):


actually "Disconnected" message appears when user selecting "username"
and "passowrd" - this is caused because Psi hold open -
unauthenticated connection to server with in my opinion is wrong.
I think proper behavior should be like: after checking server features
connection to server should be closed and reopened again for in-band
registration _after_ user decided their username and password.
