Comment (by deryni):
X-GOOGLE-TOKEN is a jabber authentication mechanism, it is used by the
official google talk client as their authentication system and does (as
far as I know) not using tls encryption on the jabber connection. When
pidgin gets that stanza there is in fact no indication that the server
supports any authentication mechanisms that pidgin supports (as we don't
support the X-GOOGLE-TOKEN authentication mechanism). If your proxy is
attempting to 'guess' the right response from the server (and presumably
blocking the real response or not transmitting your real request) then it
is decidedly broken and should be ruthlessly murdered (at least as far as
I am concerned).
If miranda ignores this than it either doesn't support sasl authentication
at all or it simply ignores the values the server says it supports and
always tries the methods it supports, both of which are broken.
