Thank's Donk, when I wrote my last message I wasn't really aware of the
extent of my problem, now I think I have a better idea and solution!!
hopefully.
My problem is that I'm using a non-blocking connection like in the discotest
example, so the main program cicle is driven by this connection which is
pretty handy as I can set all kinds of handlers and forget about it, the bad
part is that when I lose network connection, the program doesn't realize its
not connected to the server since any of the handlers has not received any
warning (obviously).
If I use a blocking connection, as soon as I get the connection, the program
has control again which is good and bad since I have to change everything
and ask for incomming messages every once in a while.
What I've done in the meanwhile is keep the initial non-blocking connection
and an extra function which tries a new connection with the same JID.
So I have one big non-blocking connection keeping it all toghether and a
quick blocking connection with the same JID to check that everything is
fine, if it fails to connect I don't send the message and since I already
had a thread sending whitespace pings every minute, I use this to know when
the connection is back and send stored messages.
This is working for me right now, if anybody has a better idea...
