Comment (by QuLogic):

 Redirects seem to be broken. The profile link used in pidgin redirects
 from spaces.msn.com to spaces.live.com. I added a debug line in msn.c to
 print {{{error_message}}} in {{{msn_got_info}}}. The message was "Error
 reading from spaces.live.com: Connection reset by peer"[[BR]]
 I noticed that spaces.msn.com redirects to spaces.live.com which redirects
 to an actual profile. So I changed PROFILE_URL in msn.h to use
 spaces.live.com to see if it was the double-redirect that was the problem,
 but that still resulted in a connection reset error, leading me to believe
 redirecting doesn't work exactly right.
