MSN with a new XMPP interface


Good news, or at least I hope so, MSN is adopting a new XMPP interface.
This means that contact pictures and file transmission should work with the available clients.

Problem, the authentication method is not supported natively by the existing clients.

But there is some patches to empathy and this plugin for pidgin.

Thoughts?

Well, my first thought is that Google also used XMPP and file transfer doesn't seem to work yet, through pidgin anyway.

I'd like to see it work and if MSN use it then the better for all of us who still have friends in the Windows world.

In the private Jabber server from my research group the transmission of files works very well.
But I am using the last version of pidgin that I compiled myself.

No, our private Jabber is not a Google account, it is our private Jabber server.

Yes, I realise that. I'm just pointing out that when Google decided to use XMPP they changed it so file transfers in other clients other than their official one didn't work. I'm just presuming that MS will do something similar.

Call me a pessimist if you like
