[jdev] Re: Problem Connecting to GoogleTalk using my custom client

[Mukil Kesavan]

I do agree Norman that instead of building something from scratch I can work on improving an existing library. But the "so-called" library that I am working on is going to be very basic and I am writing it purely for my own understanding. Besides, most of the current libraries have many dependancies which I am not so comfortable with.

Somebody please tell me how I can do the TLS/SASL part in order to connect to GoogleTalk... This is the latest XML trace that I get...

SENT:
<?xml version='1.0'?><stream:stream to='gmail.com'

Does this mean GoogleTalk ONLY supports X-GOOGLE-TOKEN??? I don't see any advertisement for SASL-PLAIN or MD5 or anything....

How did you guys fix this problem? Can somebody tell me what things should be done after I first receive the reply from google server???

Thanks and awaiting your reply,
