 Hi all.

 After network firewall upgrades, Pidgin seems to have lost the ability to
 properly connect to Yahoo and AOL messaging. The AOL and Yahoo clients
 themselves have no problem connection, however, pidgin seems to have a
 problem completing the handshake.

 Here is the debug window:

 with Yahoo, the newest version, I have to select the "Connect via a proxy
 server", and the type of "HTTP" However, Ymsgr takes care of the rest. AIM
 is very similar. Is there any way to add this functionality to Pidgin?

 Best,

 Tim
