plugin XEP-0373: download public keys if they are not found in local storage: public keys were only obtained from PEP notifications, however this wasn't working if the entity was not in our roster. Now if no public key is retrieved from local storage, the public key node is requested, and an error is raised if nothing is found. This allows the use of OX with entities which are not in roster. rel 380

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and data about the
avatar.

When available, cached values are returned by defaut. If you want to ignore the cache, use
the ``--no-cache`` option (of course this can result in more network requests).

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ li identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. So far, you can only
change the nickname of an entity using ``-n, --nick`` or or more times

example
-------

Set 2 nicknames for default profile::

  $ li identity set -n toto -n titi
