Introduction
XFR is a command introduced with MSNP2.
It is a Dispatch Server and Notification Server command, without either a request or response payload.
It tells the client what server to connect to for the request.
Client/Request
XFR TrID server-type
Where server-type is either SB (for a Switchboard Server), or NS (for a new Notification Server).
Server/Response
XFR TrID server-type address:port {...}
Where server-type is either SB (for Switchboard), or NS (for a Notification Server).
Where address:port is the server you have requested or being referred to is.
If this is set to 0, proceed to ignore the server-type parameter
and restart the login process on the current server from VER.
XFR NS
XFR TrID NS address:port {0} {current-server}
In MSNP3 or higher, 0 is always 0.
In MSNP7 or higher, current-server is the current server you are connected to.
XFR SB
XFR TrID SB address:port authentication-method authentication-parameter
Where authentication-method is always CKI.
Where authentication-parameter is the "cookie" you need to log in to Switchboard.
