Comment(by joschkopf):

 The official client works fine. Also Kopete works flawlessly. However,
 both do NOT use HTTP Method.

 In Pidgin/libpurple, I have to use HTTP method, because the normal method
 tries to tunnel it's traffic through my http proxy, which the proxy does
 not allow.

 However, I MUST use the proxy for connections to ports 80/443 in my
 environment. For this reason, normal method without proxy does not work
 either, because it wants to connect to login.live.com:443. I wonder, how
 Kopete is doing the authentication in this case... I try to get a tcp
 dump.
