TCP XMPP Connection
{affinity host}:{chat server port} The XMPP connection is a TLS-encrypted TCP socket connection to a Riot chat server.
XMPP is used for the social system of Valorant which includes sending / receiving presence info, messages, and friend requests.
Messages are sent back and forth in XML and sometimes the server will split up messages into fragments of incomplete XML. You may need to buffer incoming messages until a valid XML string is formed.
For docs on how to connect to the XMPP server, see https://github.com/giorgi-o/CrossPlatformPlaying/wiki/Riot-Games
