Public bug reported:
i have an msn/wlm account that isnt an @hotmail.com or affiliated account, but
using a custom domain. i tried with kopete and kmess, and both fail to login,
reporting wrong password. amsn logs in fine.
the bug seems to be in libmsn itself. when using a custom domain, after a
couple of exchanges with the server, the server sends the URL of a new server
to be used, and disconnects (i'm no whiz with the MSN protocol, but that's what
i understand from amsn's protocol window, and some wireshark monitoring). amsn
handles this fine, and uses the new server, libmsn based programs seem to get
confused about the disconnection, and fail to login.
i just tried pidgin, and it also functions correctly (pidgin uses libpurple).
i'm aware this should probably be posted with the libmsn developers, but i
figured having both reports, and linking would be a better choice. so if you
can please point to the libmsn bug tracker, i'll be thankful :)
