FROM A LAUNCHPAD BUG

There seems to be no way to connect to MSN through another method than
using port 1863.

In some environments, ports other than, for example, 80 and 443 are not
allowed to egress. Users then commonly try to use
gateway.messenger.msn.com over port 80 (or is it 443)?

This is behavior that is already implemented in Pidgin, as well as the
official MSN clients.

This is a quick patch, not even tested

The ideal scenario would be that we don't have to expose that property
to the user. tp-butterfly should auto-magically use the gateway if
necessary.

Did someone test this patch on a HTTP only connection?
My connection lets me use the MSN port so I can't

I attempted the patch but I realized I have additional requirements.
It needs to go through a HTTP proxy with authentication on the HTTP proxy.
I have the Gnome system proxy set up but I could not find where to set it up in Empathy.

fallback to http automatically

Inspired by Laurent's patch and Louis-Francis' indications...

Here's a patch that tries a connection to the server and port specified
in the user's settings, and if it doesn't connect within 10 seconds,
falls back to an HTTP connection.

Hi Matt,

Sorry for the wait, I took a look at your patch and it looks good but we
would rather not have a separate test connection but use the http method
if the normal one fail, do you think you can make that adjustement?

Also where the code test if proxy is None, in the else you should set
use_http_method to True since it make sense if you have a http proxy to
use the HTTP method.

Regards,
Olivier

Olivier, sorry I didn't respond any sooner I had only seen the comment
on Launchpad. I certainly can make the change. I had opted to use a
separate test because it does cause one to wait substancially less for
the standard connection to fail (since you can wait a long time if a
firewall just drops packets rather than sending an ICMP reply). I
however know that the test itself was kind of poorly done, with an
arbitrary timeout...

Thanks for the response about using the HTTP transport by default for
proxy connections, it does make sense. That said, I'd then also remove
"proxies" from the standard connection since it would always be empty in
that case.

It would be nice to not need a property to use HTTP and just
automatically use it when we can't use the 1863, but the direct
connection takes too long to time out, so perhaps we should also have a
"use-http-connection" property to force the behaiviour?

I implemented this:

    http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/jonny/telepathy-
butterfly.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/http

I added a "use-http" parameter (using that name to be consistent with
haze's MSN parameter) to force using an HTTP connection so if users know
1863 won't work, they can avoid the long timeout delay.

I played with my router (no doubt annoying my housemates) and it all
appears to work with appropriate ports blocked.

Another one for you to review, Olivier!
