 A developer from Psi and myself just found out why a file transfer could
 not be established with Pidgin:

 When trying to send a file with Jabber/XMPP (in my case from Psi) to
 someone using Pidgin (2.5.8), an hash value will be calculated according
 to [1]. The JID which is needed for this calculation is not normalized by
 Pidgin, so different hashes may occur.

 If I (Psi) have for example user at jabber.org to whom I want to send a file
 to, but the user entered "User at jabber.org" in his account settings, the
 hashes will be different ('User' != 'user'), so no connection can be
 established.

 Solution: When Pidgin calculates the hashes, the values should be
 normalized.
