Programming Jabber

Connection and authentication

Most of the main part of the script is the same as the nonsensitive version from Section 8.1: reading in the notification message, preparing a connection to the Jabber server, and trying to connect:

for line in sys.stdin.readlines(): message = message + line

con = jabber.Client(host=Server)

try:
    con.connect()
except IOError, e:
    print "Couldn't connect: %s" % e 
    sys.exit(0)

con.auth(Username,Password,Resource)
