Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #3 from David Edmundson <[email protected]> --- Someone (chronos) is talking about it in IRC atm. It turns out port 443 (normally HTTPS) is open by Google for GTalk to get round company firewalls. I hate bug reports that say "we should make the setting unlocked" so here is a brainstorm of alternate ideas: 1) We make a new profile "Gtalk (alternate port)" or equivalent which is set differently 2) In the UI for GTalk plugin have a checkbox "use alternate port" which selects 443. No point giving the user options to choose something that doesn't work. GTalk will only run on a few (2?) ports, we don't need need a spin box of all 99999 options. Also marking this bug as "new" given that now two people have poked us. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ KDE-Telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy
