PATCH: zabbix 1.4.2 fix jabber sender

The patch works fine. Without it zabbix_server only connects to the jabber server at startup. If the jabber server disconnects zabbix or a firewall drops the connection any further messages are lost as zabbix_server tries to send over the dead connection.
It would be nice if the zabbix_server could test the connection and use it if it is still valid it would save the reconnect, however ideally we don't send lots of messages anyhow ;-)
I'm using zabbix 1.4.2 with openfire 3.3.3 - it now works well (except I sometimes get the same message sent multiple times).

Thanks sauron.

works with 1.4.4

I just used this patch against 1.4.4 and it solved my problem using Zabbix with Openfire.

Thanks!

btw any chance of this patch making it into the official src?

The presented patch is a hack, opening and closing the connection for each message is not a solution. I don't want to be a server with more of such clients ;-)
