The latest version of Pidgin still doesn't fetch the buddy icons behind a Squid
proxy server.
Haven't tried it on my 8.10 system lately, but I'm quite sure it still doesn't.
Some months ago I managed to get a fix on this by hacking into the pidgin
source code - the yahoo protocol part.
But
A few correction for my previous comment :
Pidgin did use the full-url workaround if the user are using it behind a proxy
server. So the problem should be fixed by now if you are connecting behind a
normal proxy server.
In my university's network, the ports for Yahoo Messenger are open. So
Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

Yep, this is a problem that i have faced with for a long time.
it seems the problem should be for the algoritm that pidgin use for yahoo
account , depending on the way we connect to INTERNET, (Proxy || NAT/FIREWALL) .

I'm having similar problems (Gutsy, Pidgin 2.2.1) but possibly different
root cause (devs - please advise if you'd prefer a new bug).
Basically, both Yahoo buddy icon gets and file transfers file behind a
proxy server because: I have to set No proxy for the basic port 5050
connection, and Pidgin
Doh - meant file transfers *fail* in second paragraph.

I'm actually unsure who's to be blame here : pidgin or squid. But one thing for
sure : those two doesn't work together pretty well. I've already tested pidgin
on a commercial OS , but the results are the same.
Some weeks ago I also mail this bug on pidgin's mailing list but they haven't
Hi,
I also experience the same bugs. Somehow when connected to a proxy pidgin sent
incorrect url when fetching yahoo buddy icon. It strips the protocol and
website.
I heavily suspect this is a pidgin bug, because my other friends using Kopete
and YM client in windows has no problem fetching
Here is my pidgin's debug window output when trying to get buddy icon :
(14:58:33) util: Request: 'GET
/msgr/buddy_name/.friend_icon.png?msIlQRHB7KbknkWi HTTP/1.0
Connection: close
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0)
Accept: */*
Host: f3.yahoofs.com
'
(14:58:33) util: Response
Looks like the host not resolved by my proxyserver correctly. Exact response
also recived when accessing address.yahoo.com at the beginning of connection.
This debugging windows is really handy
And also if I try to view an user info, it gets 'Access Denied', seems like the
proxy server is
Here is what I got when trying to 'Get Info' :
(18:03:30) util: requested to fetch (http://profiles.yahoo.com/my_buddy),
