This is filed against Empathy 2.28.2.

After performing a system update, Empathy is unable to login to AIM and
ICQ. Interestingly, Pidgin is also experiencing the same error,
reporting the problem as "Received unexpected response from
https://api.screenname.aol.com/auth/clientLogin";. Empathy didn't specify
what the problem was.

On the basis of that error, I ran Wireshark and watched the login
attempt.

Empathy sends the following request to the server (with personal details
omitted):

----------
GET 
http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession?a=[...]&f=xml&k=[...]&ts=1263348414&useTLS=1&sig_sha256=[...]
HTTP/1.0

Connection: close

Accept: */*

Host: api.oscar.aol.com
----------

The response from the server is then as follows:

----------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:06:54 GMT

Server: Apache

Content-Length: 286

Pragma: no-cache

Cache-Control: no-store,no-cache,must-revalidate

Keep-Alive: timeout=1, max=61

Connection: Keep-Alive

Content-Type: text/xml


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response 
xmlns="http://developer.aim.com/xsd/aim.xsd";><statusCode>400</statusCode><statusText>useTLS=1
 is not allowed for non secure 
requests.</statusText><data><ts>1263348414</ts><upgradeData></upgradeData><betaData></betaData></data></response>
----------

Empathy then reports that the login failed. I have verified that my
accounts are still valid: they successfully connect using the website
Meebo.

It is interesting that both Empathy and Pidgin are suddenly experiencing
the same error. Thinking that the bug must be on AOL's side, I checked
with other (non-Fedora) Empathy/Pidgin users, but haven't been able to
find anyone else who could reproduce the bug.

The output of `rpm -ql --last` | head -75` is provided in the
attachment.

I am experiencing the same error (confirmed with Wireshark) in Empathy
after updating from libpurple-2.6.4-2.fc12.i686 to 2.6.5-1.fc12.i686.

I undid a batch of updates applied at 2010-01-13 12:54, which brought me
back to libpurple-2.6.3-2.fc12.i686.  After rebooting, I was able to
connect to the AIM network in Empathy.  Then I updated Empathy only, to
2.6.5-1.fc12.i686, and I started getting the same error again.

libpurple is part of the pidgin component, but I don't know whether the
problem is in Empathy or libpurple code.

I've got empathy-2.8.2-2.fc12.x86_64, and I am still having this problem
this morning.  Pidgin wasn't working for me either, but I was able to
get it to work by disabling clientlogon in the advanced settings.  I
can't find that setting anywhere in empathy, so I believe this is still
an issue.

I can confirm Jonathans statement for empathy-2.8.2-2.fc12.x86_64.
I receive "network connection error" for AIM as stated and for ICQ and IRC that 
were working before. Jabber (Googlemail) amd YIM are working still fine.

I still see this problem with empathy-2.8.2-2.fc12.x86_64 and
libpurple-2.6.5-1.fc12.x86_64.  Tracing the connection, I see the same
TLS error as Sean.  It appears that the site api.oscar.aol.com is
listening on port 443 as well as port 80.

Empathy is working for me again, but I don't think this means that the
bug has been resolved, so I am reopening the ticket to make sure that my
comment is addressed.  I'm perfectly fine if you disagree with me and
they way you "address" my comment is by closing the ticket again; I just
want to make sure that the issues I am raising here are known to the
maintainer of the package.

When empathy was failing on Fedora 12, the official AIM was working fine
on Windows, and pidgin worked when I disabled clientlogin.  Now, while
it may be true that AOL did something to their servers to make empathy
start working again, if there is a time during which other clients work
and empathy didn't, then that strikes me as a bug in empathy, regardless
of whether that time passed.  It has happened several times now, and I
assume will continue to happen in the future, so whatever the problem
with the servers is, empathy needs to be fixed to cope with it.

I am having this problem now, the first time I am using empathy.

Wireshark confirms that it is the same message from aol as in the
description.


The issue seems that empathy is connecting to api.oscar.aol.com on port 80 (non 
encrypted) and providing the startOSCARsession request including useTLS=1.

I would expect that connecting to 443 and giving the exact same request
would work just fine, or connecting to 80 and not asking for useTLS=1.

AOL is effectively saying that if you want to have a secure (useTLS=1)
connection, you should use https (443) to start it, or you're exposing a
bunch of stuff (the startOSCARsession parameters which can probably be
decoded pretty easily).

Confirmed that applying this upstream patch fixes the issue.

Note, it must be applied to the pidgin SRPM since it applies to
libpurple.  I can't reassign the component of this bugzilla.
