 I am currently using Pidgin in Ubuntu 11.04 and my network is under a http
 proxy (10.138.15.10:8080)

 I have configured a MSN account and set the proxy to use GNOME defaults,
 but it's unable to connect, here's the log:

 The only way to connect is by forcing the HTTP method.

Comment(by deryni):

 Your proxy does not allow CONNECT tunneling over the port pidgin is
 attempting to use. You could attempt to change that port on the Advanced
 settings tab for the MSN account but that may or may not work and may or
 may not be enough. I believe the HTTP method is intended for cases rather
 like this though I could very well be wrong about that as I am not overly
 familiar with MSN.
