Comment(by Stevan_White):

 The "Received unexpected response" error came back for me too in version
 2.6.5.

 As explained above, it popped up but AIM continued to work for a while.
 After a couple of hours though, I seemed to lose AIM (not 100% sure what
 happened first--the person I was chatting with disappeared, but it may be
 unrelated).  I re-started Pidgin, and now the error won't go away and AIM
 does not connect.

 So I disabled clientLogin.

 This results in a very long pause (5 min or so) then an error message:
 disconnected
 {{{
 Unable to connect to authentication server: SSL Connection Failed
 }}}

 But if I then click on "Reconnect", it seems to connect anyway.

 Disabling SSL makes the problem go away.  If I then re-enable clientLogin,
 the problem is still gone.

 Since

 1) SSL in version 2.6.2 works without problems even now[[BR]]

 2) until the above fateful date, 2.6.5 with SSL worked without
 problems[[BR]]

 3) Since then 2.6.5 does not function properly with SSL,

 It looks like some change in the AIM server triggers some behavior new to
 version 2.6.5.  Again:  SSL was ''enabled'' in all cases.
