 When I try to proxy Pidgin through a Symantec SGS application proxy I get
 the following error message in the proxy log file:

 {{{
 May 19 09:33:42 ******** httpd [4695] 30232: Invalid SSL client greeting,
 Source IP=*************, Destination IP=64.12.161.185,
 Source Port=2283, Destination Port=5190, Source Name=*************,
 Destination Name=login.oscar.aol.com,
 Target=login.oscar.aol.com:5190, Detail=First message not hello,
 Operation=CONNECT, Source Interface=eth0, Destination
 Interface=eth1, Protocol=http, Rule=4, Source IP=*************,
 Destination IP=64.12.161.185
 }}}

 When using the AOL AIM client it is able to connect normally via the same
 proxy.

Comment:

 What does the Pidgin [wiki:TipsForBugReports debug log] say when this
 occurs?

 How are you specifying the proxy (it looks like the proxy is expecting an
 SSL connection, which wouldn't be the case for AIM)?
