annotate libpurple/protocols/myspace/message.c @ 18909:c32fcdef2809

Only say we are connected after the MsimSession structure is fully setup. (Also change a few debugging statements to help find this bug.) Previously, purple_connection_set_state(..., PURPLE_CONNECTED) was called too early, so that if a client called any msimprpl functions that operated on MsimSession (pretty much all of them) within the signed-on signal handler, the userid etc., would not yet be correct and the call would fail. Now, the call is called at the right time so it works as expected. Closes #2520.
