annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 21592:68b036c452f3

The Jabber registration process depends upon having a non-NULL cbdata->who, which was set only from the 'from' attribute of the registration packet. I can't find anything in XEP-0077 which discusses whether the 'from' attribute is required, but I've run into at least one server (bgmn.net, which according to gmn.ne/jabber is using OpenFire 3.2.4) which doesn't include it. This leads to registration attempts crashing. If we can't get a 'from' attribute, try to use the fully qualified domain name instead. If that's NULL for some reason, fail the registration attempt rather than continuing on and crashing.
