Comment (by karypid):

 I have also been experiencing this bug with 2.4.0 and now with 2.4.1.

 The problem is that my proxy (as is the case with other users) only
 allowns HTTP CONNECT to port 443. The "Port" preference (defaults to 1863)
 applies to the MSN server preference (which defaults to
 messenger.hotmail.com) for NON http-method connections.

 When you enable the "Use HTTP Method" checkbox, pidgin attempts to connect
 to port 80 (this is apparently hard-coded?) via the proxy, which is not
 allowed on my site (as well as those of the other posters). Changing the
 "port" setting has no effect, as it only applies to the NON-http method
 server (messenger.hotmail.com). I tried to trick pidgin by specifying
 gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:443 as the "HTTP method server" but the
 debug log says it still tries to connect to port 80
 (gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:443:80).
