It is like facebook but Microsoft is interoperating and is/was working with Facebook, XMPP is how Live Messenger has supported facebook XMPP chat since last year. Microsoft use their Lync Server to convert the XMPP messages into the appropriate MSNP messages, They worked with Facebook directly in using the X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM sasl authentication to authenticate users on Live from Messenger with Facebook and they based their authentication on the Facebook sasl authentication.
You can use the information here as a guide for X-MESSENGER-OATH2: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ Open an embedded browser instance to: 'https://oauth.live.com/authorize?client_id=[YOUR_CLIENT_ID]&redirect_uri=ht tps://oauth.live.com/desktop&response_type=token&scope=wl.basic', then once the user authenticates and allows access and once thats complete you get your usual oath access_token for authenticating via xmpp. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justin Karneges Sent: Friday, 16 September 2011 12:31 AM To: XMPP Standards Subject: Re: [Standards] MSN does XMPP On Thursday, September 15, 2011 09:14:05 AM Nicolas Vérité wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 18:05, Coyo Stormbringer <[email protected]> wrote: > > bow chicka wow w-- *AHEM* > > > > probably meaning chat.facebook.com. > > > > On 9/15/2011 11:00 AM, Justin Karneges wrote: > >> On Thursday, September 15, 2011 02:09:20 AM dmex wrote: > >>> Microsoft has been doing XMPP for the last 6 months or so with > >>> facebook via an xmpp service running at > >>> 'beta.xmpp.messenger.live.com' and it looks like its now public. > >> > >> What do you mean "with facebook" ? > > Yes, they have apparently the same approach: offering border gateway, > to their internal chat system, still running on proprietary protocol. So probably dmex instead meant "like facebook" ? On first read it sounded like Microsoft and Facebook were interoperating, which is why I wanted clarification. Justin
