[PyMSN-t] MSN-Transport for ejabberd login problems

ESL Developer Blog - - September 16, 2008

We are using PyMSN-t for our MSN transport and had some weird encounters with protocol changes on Microsoft`s side. If you get this error:

Failed to connect to MSN servers: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): exceptions.Exception: Timeout]

Try changing line 113 of src/legacy/msn/msn.py from

MSN_PROTOCOL_VERSION = “MSNP11 CVR0″

to

MSN_PROTOCOL_VERSION = “MSNP11″

This solved the problem, for us at least. This is thanks to a change in the MSN protocol, where the MSN server now needs a different login string. According to some people “on the internet” this is the _only_ change to the protocol in that update…*sigh*

Thanks to “Stephan” from jabber-me.de for the hint!
