Openfire dropping disco info request

Hi,

I have been working with the Pidgin dudes on this issue: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4269

The problem is that Pidgin is not enabling XHTML support for auto-joined chatrooms joined at login. Debuging the interaction, it was discovered that Openfire is ignoring this request:

<iq type='get' id='purple846aa516'
to='testroom@conference.localhost'><query
xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'
node='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#traffic'></query></iq>

see debug2.log on the pidgin ticket.

Any thoughts on this?

thanks,

daryl
