Re: CAP issue #657 (BEEP profile): closed?

The greeting message just says what is available.
You have to send a start message for a channel.
You have to have a channel to communicate.
Channel 0 is reserved for channel management.
For 2.3 of rfc3080
"When a BEEP session starts, only channel number zero is defined,
   which is used for channel management."

          C: <start number='1'>
          C:    <profile uri='http://iana.org/beep/cap/1.0'/>
          C: </start>

Where is the example of starting a CAP channel?

Again I need to see what the server responds to the start of a CAP
channel.
Thanks.

Start one - per beep. You have the uri as specified in CAP:

    http://iana.org/beep/cap/1.0 

And BEEP: "2.3.1.2 The Start Message"

Any where you started the channel with the uri = 
http://iana.org/beep/cap/1.0

CAP does not have its own authentication. It uses the BEEP SASL
profile
for authentication.

Once authentication is complete and valid, send a CAP greeting as
described in CAP "12.3 BEEP connection details", paragraph
that starts with "At this point ...". Once the greeting is accepted
you can open as many channels as you wish providing the CAP uri
for each channel.

something
is incorrect, please advice! ***
