Synopsis
<iq type='error' from='dj@yak/Work' to='dj@yak/Work'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:browse'/>
<error code='406'>Not Acceptable</error>
</iq>
The error subelement carries error information back in the response to a
request that could not be fulfilled. Table 5-3
showed the standard error codes and default accompanying texts.
The example here shows the response to a browse request, but why might the
request have been erroneous? Because the
<iq/>
type attribute had been specified as
set instead of
get. Browsing is a read-only mechanism.
