[Gaim-devel] Issue with proxied HTTP connections

[Erik C. <e.c...@sm...>]

I am situated behind an HTTP proxy, which I cannot seem to be able to
configure gaim to connect through.

Windoze and OSX AIM clients connect fine when proxy settings are
configured, but gaim just reports an error: "Access denied: proxy server
forbids port 5190 tunneling".

When I try to connect to login.oscar.aol.com on port 80, gaim reports
that my screen name has been sent, but there is no activity after that.

Trying to connect over SSL (port 443) produces a "proxy connection error
503" message.

I'm on a Debian/PPC (sarge) machnine. Have you any idea why running AIM
clients on OSX/Windows works but not with gaim on GNU/Linux? All other
web services work fine. Version is 1.0.2-1.
