[Gaim-encryption-devel] encrypted conversation initiated by an AIM user with ICQ user hangs with Request key...

[Adrian K. <ad...@dr...>]

Hi,

I'd like to point you to

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D407071

Short summary: if you're an AIM user and try to start an encrypted
connection with an ICQ user, the ICQ user's key is never sent, thus
preventing two-way encryption.

I've just updated the bug report: it's working again,
the servers no longer filter the URL string.

That's no longer true as of 2007-01-19. Now, it's broken again.

The Debian bug report also contains a screenshot showing the
problem from user's point of view.

Just tried testing with Gaim 2.0b6 (2007-01-21) and things seem to be
working.  I guess I'll try to check it periodically...

Thoughts for a fix: I guess the plugin could check to see if the other
side's username is all digits, and assume that it is ICQ at that point.
 In the past, ICQ traffic has had HTML escaped (I think by the Gaim
prpl), so the plugin already looks for escaped headers on the incoming.
 And so manually escaping the header before sending to an all-digit
username might work fine, if the filtering is turned back on.
