Ok, since there's been no replies, I'll elaborate a little...
I made a program using libpurple, and one of its features is the ability
to send buddy requests to certain users in a database. It runs strictly
on the command line. (And no..it is not a spam bot or any stupid thing
like that).
Now for the problem: Whenever I send a buddy request from my program to
another ICQ account, the buddy request is never received on the other
side. In my program, I send the buddy request by calling
purple_account_add_buddy(). Also as another note, when I close my
program (signing the ICQ account off) and run it again, the buddy I just
tried to add disappears, so it's not staying on the server-side buddy
list.
Since pidgin can add ICQ buddies successfully but my program can't (for
some reason??), I tested out the difference between the debug logs when
adding a buddy in pidgin and adding a buddy in my program (the buddy is
logged in on a standard Windows ICQ client):

The buddy request was never received on the other end...
I know the natural assumption is "your program is broken" but I can
confirm that it works with 3 out of 4 protocols...It works with AIM,
Yahoo, and MSN, but fails with ICQ, and it still fails even in the
simplest program. I am really stumped and would greatly appreciate any
help...this problem is delaying the launch of a website I'm creating.
Thank you!
