Direct Connect FT

  • Bug : while having a direct connect FT, if the SB gets closed and we change our DP, WLM will send a request to fetch the DP on the direct socket, we fake aMSN into thiking it comes from the SB so we reply on the SB but it fails to send the message since the SB is closed. So we never answer it, WLM never gets our DP, and it keeps flooding us with RAK msnp2p messages (request ACK, since it never received our ack to their invite).

To Review

WLM Style XML Logs

  • http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4992&highlight=

  • tomhennigan: I have checked the WLM format, and tested aMSN's logging API to see if a converter would be possible. A solution could be implemented, but it would be problematic, and incomplete as far as I can see.

Do some more analysis of the 927 error
