Microsoft have changed something somewhere.. the "challenge" string thats sent to the client is now 28 digits instead of 20 digits. I dont quite know how to process this properly yet. So you get disconnected about 30 seconds after you've connected. It does send a 20 character string sometimes, but its very rare.

http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/sitev2.0/notification/pings_challenges.php

Mick has the same problem with AmiMSN.

Will try and fix it soon. I've posted for help on an MSN developer forum.


EDIT: Thanks to Mick, its now fixed! Download it now http://wookiechat.amigarevolution.com

2009-07-27 : Alpha 54
- Fixed a bug in the Challenge response, that caused disconnection within a
minute of being connected to the server. Microsoft changed their replys from
a set size, to a variable size. My code wasnt equipped! Thank you to Mick
on www.amigaworld.net for single handedly figuring out my bug. Please direct
any SabreMSN donations to him for this release!
- Bugfix: Disconnection would occur when Sabre would connect and then attempt
to remove someone from a pending list, and onto other lists so you could
communicate. Unfortunately I had specified two different groups in the
remove command, which caused immediate disconnection. Thanks to Deniil for
reporting the issue, providing raw output, and then testing with me until
we fixed it.
- Your own Current Media information is now displayed in the personal message
space. Otherwise you'd play music and not know that your personal message
was currently showing the Current Media. Use the MUSIC ARexx command to tell
SabreMSN what music you're currently listening to. Hook this up to your music
players if possible.
- Option to play new message alerts only when the chat window is inactive

Thanks for looking into it. In the meantime Pidgin still works under AmiCygnix.

@jahc

The algorithm should be the same though James. I've just tried EpistulaNG (who's code of which I haven't touched in months) five times and it's handled the challenge fine on all occasions, regardless if it's the 20 digit or 28 digit string.

Are you hard coding to the 20 digit string?

@Slash

I dont think so..

I need help. Lets take this example challenge code:
6393169001825322684810013116

Using these values:
PRODUCT ID: PROD0090YUAUV{2B
OTHER ID: YMM8C_H7KCQ2S_KL

Are these values correct?

MD5SUM:9706967a9ee03fff06409e9e07883b00

then you turn it into the four md5sum hashes:

1 md5sum hash:2056652439
2 md5sum hash:2134892702
3 md5sum hash:513687558
4 md5sum hash:3901447

Then you make the challenge string:
6393169001825322684810013116PROD0090YUAUV{2B

then you create the 10 part array.. (hex on the left, unsigned long on the right):

challenge string array:33393336 = 859386678
challenge string array:30393631 = 809055793
challenge string array:32383130 = 842543408
challenge string array:32323335 = 842150709
challenge string array:38343836 = 942946358
challenge string array:31303031 = 825241649
challenge string array:36313133 = 909193523
challenge string array:444f5250 = 1146049104
challenge string array:30393030 = 809054256
challenge string array:55415559 = 1430345049


then you create the final 4 part hash:

9706967a
9ee03fff
06409e9e
07883b00

Then the result key is:
2aeb531e45e8c190bbad5bfadc80c56f


Yes..?

I have worked it out. jahc and I both hardcoded something we shouldn't have :)

I think you'll find an update tomorrow with all of Sabre's personal message glory I'm personally too slack to go and update AmiMSN now. I just spent 5-6 hours at an anime convention and will be doing up to 13 hours of it tomorrow. (Starts at 10, can go as late as 11pm)

Just downloaded "OS4 SabreMSN 2009-07-26 Alpha 0.54" but I still got disconnected after a couple of seconds. Tried again and now it seems to stay connected.

So that's what happened!

BTW, is there a way to stop it from telling me whenever I start it up that I have been disconnected? "Well duh!" I think. I have auto connect enabled and it always seems to complain, not knowing I just got onto the internet, so no wonder I was disconnected! It wasn't connected before I ran it.

No, that's the old error. If roadshow isn't only it won't even try to connect IIRC.

Latest 0.54 have some problems with the visual of the contact availible, people online seems disconnected altrough you can chat with them without any problem.

Other little issue:

If you set a compact window (chat and contact window in the same interface) the text of the personal message seems trunked at some point, for example the default text here is:

(no personal messag

I have also a feature request: please if possible add a "close button" on the tabs as for example NoWinED

@Deniil715
Yes same experience here :-/

Yeah I wanted to fix that niggling disconnected error on auto connect.. but I was rushed because it wasnt working at all for my users.

Finding less time to code these days, with new people in my life.... well, one person.

Hello. Just thought I'd tell you. I googled for Sabre since OS4Depot has no sign of it. (Is it on there or is it the search engine mising fils as usual?)

And it brought up this site:
http://wookiechat.amigarevolution.com/sabremsn/

The links are broken and the files don't exist. They are too old I take it.

thanks for the update! we were at Euskal Party (it's becoming worse each year... this time no amiga prods -sigh-) and we had disconnection problems... we were unsure about the reason but later we noticed the update, thank you!

btw, nice to know the good news about the new person too just remember that if girls like to own lots of clothes you also have the right to keep and use your miggies

@Deniil715

whoops. I see it now.

I thought I had fixed auto connect on startup, but its playing up again.

I've fixed the personal messages thing when music is playing...

a few other minor things too..

Trying to get it right at the moment so I can rest easy when I go away next week.
