Hi,
I am planing to implement MSN in an applet form or something similar for a project... I searched the net and found many of them explaining the protocol...
I tried them but the response from the server is quite different.. I get different kind of commands and information returned... Looks like most of the sites have the older version of the protocol explained...
Does any one know links where i can get the latest info regarding this..
thanx

don't know about documentation, but the newest GAIM definitely works with MSN. Since it is opensource you should be able to steal the info.
I don't know if you know about this site, http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/index.php has info on MSNP9 and MSNP10, the problem with most sites will be that they have the older MSNP7 or 8.
MS did a 'lockdown' of the messenger service some time ago (all they did was actually upgrade to MSNP9).
As FYB said, take a look at GAIM, or aMSN, they both work with the now version. I think you have to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to be able to talk to the hotmail servers, though.
Hi,
Thnax for the info.. I am planing to implement this in PHP.. are there any predefined libraries which i can use to use SSL and the MD5..
And have any of you implemented any version of MSN protocol before..

PHP has an MD5 encryption function built-in. From www.php.net/md5:
Also, according tgo the fsockopen() info on the site:Quote:
md5
(PHP 3, PHP 4 )
md5 -- Calculate the md5 hash of a string
Description
string md5 ( string str [, bool raw_output])
Calculates the MD5 hash of str using the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, and returns that hash. The hash is a 32-character hexadecimal number. If the optional raw_output is set to TRUE, then the md5 digest is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16.
Note: The optional raw_output parameter was added in PHP 5.0.0 and defaults to FALSE
Example 1. A md5() example
See also crc32(), md5_file(), and sha1().PHP Code:<?php
$str = 'apple';
if (md5($str) === '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f') {
echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
exit;
}
?>
I once tried to to an MSN client, but I gave up, as I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to do.Quote:
As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix the hostname with either 'ssl://' or 'tls://' to use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host.
