Re: xAP Plug-in for SlimServer beta release

["g8kmh" <lehane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just confirmed the problem is due to the messages having no
target= line in the header.

A kludge, pending Edward having a look, is to add the following code
to the routine _process_incoming_xap_data in comm.pm

if (!($$xap_data{'xap-header'}{target})) {
$$xap_data{'xap-header'}{target} = ">:>";
}

above this line in the code

$target   = $$xap_data{'xap-header'}{target};

Works then but I haven't checked for other side effects.
