 Hi:

 I am having an issue using SSL to log into AOL with clientLogin
 enabled. Pidgin release is 2.6.5, but I also had this issue with
 2.6.4.

 With the config:

   Advanced account settings:
     host: login.oscar.aol.com (also failed with slogin.oscar.aol.com)
     port: 5190 (also failed with 443)

     checked: use SSL
     checked: use clientLogin
     unchecked: Always use AIM/ICQ proxy server....
     checked: Allow multiple simultaneous logins

 I get the following message:

   Received unexpected response from
     http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession

 The debug log shows in part (anonymized and wrapped):

   (13:37:08) account: Connecting to account [some account].
   (13:37:08) dnsquery: Performing DNS lookup for api.screenname.aol.com

   (13:37:09) connection: Connection error on 03225FC8 (reason: 16

 If I uncheck use SSL I get connected fine. If I uncheck use
 clientLogin, it also works fine. I see there was a bug fix in 2.6.4
 for SSL and clientLogin, but I first saw this issue a couple of days
 ago in the 2.6.4 release. So maybe something changed on the AOL
 side?

 I am currently running with ssl enabled and clientLogin disabled
 assuming this is the most secure settings I can get at the moment.
