Hi all,

I am using PIDGIN for my instant messaging and I most often than not I have to connect behind firewalls. I was wondering if there was any possibilities to be running PIDGIN on HTTP ? I thought that would be the best way for me to connect behind firewalls but if there is another way or better way I am all ears

Thank you all for your help

You can use the advances options, there is an option http (proxy settings)

actually proxy is not gonna work for me. To be more precise, most of the places I would connect to allow only HTTP traffic and would block proxies.

For msm you can use http, don't know for the other protocols though

Try using meebo. Or the webmessenger that both Yahoo and MSN have.

Strangely enough I do connect with aim fine but not with msn. Would PIDGIN not connect through port 80 only ? Adium is capable of doing it. Meebo is as well, but I would rather use PIDGIN.
