Description

Many Jabber servers use an SRV record to delegate the XMPP service for a domain to another server.
For example, Google uses SRV records so that Google Talk users who have an @gmail.com address actually communicate with a Jabber server at xmpp-server.l.google.com. See this snippet:
$ host -t srv _xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com has SRV record 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
Jabber for Haiku should respect these SRV records. As a compromise, the ability to manually specify an alternative server to connect to (while still retaining the original domain in the login) should be available.

https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/1889 and then further fixes in gloox configure.ac (to look for things in libnetwork) are needed.

Gloox 1.0.23 is built with getaddrinfo support enabled, so now this should work.
To be confirmed with the new gloox backend, I think this should work fine now.
