#5353: Yahoo IM does not connect in SOCKS5 proxy environment
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  dhirko  |       Owner:  marv  
    Type:  defect  |      Status:  new   
Priority:  minor   |   Component:  Yahoo!
 Version:  2.4.0   |    Keywords:        
 Pending:  0       |  
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Version 2.1.0 was the last version that I found which works with Yahoo in
 my company's network environment.  Version 2.1.1 up through Version 2.4.0
 attempt to connect to Yahoo and then fail.

 My company uses a SOCKS5 proxy without a user/password combination.

 As you can see in the traces below, the company injects a policy message
 when it connects with Yahoo.  It succeeds in both cases, but the 2.4.0
 disconnects almost immediately thereafter.  I tried to highlight what I
 think is the key difference below... where the Yahoo Service 0x55 responds
 with a status of 0 and the an unrecognized cookie 'C' appears.  Not sure
 if that's it, but it seems to be a key difference.
