-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It seems that messenger.hotmail.com is down. I only started paying attention recently, is this very common ?
celso:~$ telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863 Trying 207.46.104.20... telnet: connect to address 207.46.104.20: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host So PyMSN is unable to connect. I was browsing through the code and reading http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/notification/authentication.php and decided to change msnw.py from: reactor.connectTCP('messenger.hotmail.com', 1863, dispatchFactory) to: reactor.connectTCP('baym-cs322.msgr.hotmail.com', 1863, dispatchFactory) I got "baym-cs322.msgr.hotmail.com" from a tcpdump from a real MSN client. I rebooted the transport, I saw from the tcpdump that it exchanged some traffic but I still couldn't logon. So my newbie questions are: 1. Is the transport ready to work directly with a notification server other the messenger.hotmail.com ? 2. Wouldn't it be good ideia to implement alternative fallback authentication processes like the real MSN client does ? It seem that it first tries the last notification server it used, then the main dispatch server and finally a web based dispach server. 3. And last: if(self.inited): MSNConnection.removeMe(self) self.switchboardSessions = {} dispatchFactory = DispatchFactory(self) reactor.connectTCP('messenger.hotmail.com', 1863, dispatchFactory) self.notificationFactory = msn.NotificationFactory() self.notificationFactory.userHandle = self.username self.notificationFactory.password = self.password self.notificationFactory.msncon = self self.notificationFactory.protocol = Notification self.notificationProtocol = None self.savedStatus = None self.inited = True debug.log("MSNConnection: \"%s\" initialised" % (self.username)) I don't know too much python but isn't some error checking needed here ? It seems to be returning success even when I know for sure that this server can't connect to messenger.hotmail.com.
