Unknown HTTP error on Pidgin Facebook

black-clover · 05-27-2023, 07:56 PM

Hello,

Recently I have been experiencing a strange problem with Pidgin.
When I try to connect to Facebook (I use purple-facebook) I get the error message: Unknown HTTP error
This happens on Devuan Chimaera, Debian Testing, and I even tried a live Fedora 35 iso.
I also tried different facebook accounts with the same result.
However, this doesn't happen 100% of the time, and occasionally it connects just fine.
I have been using the same setup for a long time, and never had any problem.
The system is up to date, and I use the latest purple-facebook library.
If I use a browser, I can access my facebook account without any problem and haven't noticed any trouble with other connections.

Any suggestions as to how address this issue?

Unknown HTTP error

Is that the complete text of the error message or was there an error number included?

Unfortunately, that's all it says.
The message appears in Pidgin window. I tried launching Pidgin from the terminal, but no other information is displayed.
