EDIT :
@Trappski : no there was no option and I just added one in SVN revision 9871. You will find it in the appearance tab under the "show DP in CL" option.

Thanks a bunch!

[kakaroto]

np, was a good idea.

[rowanparker]

Thanks for the explanation.
I have been reading most of this thread I must have missed that somehow.

I remember now about the contactlist things not working but I'd forgotten about it (not adding anyone in a while or anything) but glad it works now

[Daniel15]

@Daniel15 : yeah, it might be a bug, the thing is that we always received the nickname from the server, now we don't.. I think... I'm not really sure about that, but in any case, the thing is that I'll soon implement content roaming too which should fix all these issues.. content roaming is basically a server to store data on so you keep the same 'volatile data' accross all pcs... so you can keep the same nickname, psm and display picture no matter which pc you're using...

Alright.

Should I keep reporting bugs here? Or in separate topics?

Anyways, two more issues I've noticed:
1) I need to use a HTTP proxy at University, but connecting via a HTTP proxy in aMSN doesn't seem to work properly, it connects and seems to transfer the contact list (takes a while, I have a relatively large contact list ), but then I  get a "Connection lost" message box. The status log says:

[15:24:14] ::HTTPConnection::HTTPRead: Proxy POST connection closed for ns:
HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error

2) After I connect to the server, a conversation with one particular contact seems to pop up, for some unknown reason. I thought it was an OIM, but no messages are displayed. I checked the status log, and the same thing appears over and over:

Here I am again bringing some good news...
I've just reverse-engineered and implemented the sha1auth method for websites!!! what this means is that, when you click on a msn website (inbox, send email, view profile, edit my profile, a spaces blog/picture, etc..), the page that opened was redirecting to md5auth.srt in which it authenticated you to msn passport and then redirected to that url you wanted (inbox, send email, etc..).
The problem is that this md5auth.srt is old and deprecated and is not used anymore and because of it we had previously a lot of people complaining that when they click 'view profile' they actually got redirected to hotmail instead of the profile...
The only way to solve it was to use sha1auth.srt which uses a completely different authentication algorithm and which is the newest, coolest method for authentication+redirect. Now that it's implemented, you will not (should not) have the problem of getting redirected to the wrong page anymore... this is extremely useful since without it, you couldn't access your friend's blogs/albums with the msn spaces links.

@Daniel15:
1 - don't know (a timeout I guess...? will need full status+proto logs)
2 - really don't know (a plugin maybe? or trying to fetch DP of the user but she doesn't join.. proto log might help, and status log of previous messages...)

[Daniel15]

1 - don't know (a timeout I guess...? will need full status+proto logs)

Okay, PMing you with the logs now

2 - really don't know (a plugin maybe? or trying to fetch DP of the user but she doesn't join.. proto log might help, and status log of previous messages...)

The thing was that she was offline, so I really don't know what could possibly cause it
It stopped happening now though, I can't seem to reproduce it any more.

[kakaroto]

humm... ok thx... the only thing I can think of would be the extremely huge list of contacts you got there! MSN sets a limit on each messages, so when sending your list of contacts, it gets split into 3 messages.. the limit I set was 7400 which should be 'safe' but maybe it's not that safe, if you could send me a wireshark log of what WLM does, then maybe we can find out what the problem is.. it just might be as simple as a limit of 7200 chars per message...
thanx

[Daniel15]

The thing was that it works perfectly fine when I'm not using a proxy (eg. I'm at home and logged in right now, it's working fine), I just encounter problems when using HTTP mode over a proxy. When I'm at Uni again (Thursday), I'll try HTTP mode over a proxy in Windows Live Messenger.

[kakaroto]

maybe the limit is different when using a proxy ?

[Daniel15]

Hmm, perhaps. I'll take a look when I'm at Uni tomorrow

[kakaroto]

added support for content roaming.. so now the nickname and psm are the same no matter which pc you're using.. this also fixes the 'bug' of users having and old nickname after a logout/login...
might be buggy.. experimental..

[rowanparker]

added support for content roaming.. so now the nickname and psm are the same no matter which pc you're using..

You are amazing :p
You do things so fast!
And just tested, seems to work fine

[kakaroto]

cool, thanks!
I just want to finish all this and be done with it so I can move forward :p
don't expect the same activity level for too long :p

[patrickfromspain]

hey man, you're really doing an awesome job!

Maybe these has already been reported: I can't block contacts.

If I block a contact, nothing happens. I've tried blocking, disconnecting and reconnecting and it won't work: contact doesn't get blocked. But, it will work if I delete+block the contact. If then I add the contact again, it shows blocked.

Any ideas?

PD: also tried with a fresh profile

[kakaroto]

humm.. no, it should work, I don't know why it would fail, especially if you're saying that it works with block and delete because block calls ::MSN::blockUser and block+delete calls ::MSN::blockUser then ::MSN::deleteUser... so it's the exact same function, same code that is being executed for both scenarios...
anyways, open the status window, clear it, block a user, then paste here the output.
