NAME
       POE::Component::Jabber::Legacy - connect using the pre-XMPP Jabber protocol

SYNOPSIS
       PCJ::Legacy is a Protocol implementation for the legacy (ie. Pre-XMPP) Jabber protocol.

DESCRIPTION
       PCJ::Legacy implements the simple iq:auth authentication mechanism defined in the deprecated XEP at
       http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0078.html. This Protocol class is mainly used for connecting to legacy jabber servers that do not
       conform the to XMPP1.0 RFC.

METHODS
       Please see PCJ::Protocol for what methods this class supports.

EVENTS
       Listed below are the exported events that end up in PCJ's main session:

       set_auth
	 This handles construction and sending of the iq:auth query.

       init_input_handler
	 This is our main entry point. This is used by PCJ to deliver all input events until we are finished. Also handles responses to
	 authentication.

NOTES AND BUGS
       Ideally, this class wouldn't be necessary, but there is a large unmoving mass of entrenched users and administrators that refuse to migrate
       to XMPP. It largely doesn't help that debian still ships jabberd 1.4.3 which does NOT support XMPP.

       The underlying backend has changed this release to now use a new Node implementation based on XML::LibXML::Element. Please see
       POE::Filter::XML::Node documentation for the relevant API changes.
