Comment(by jmanig):

 Well, I managed to make a little bit of progress.

 Differences with the official client:
  - The official client uses an encoding of text/xml and not application/x
 -ms-messenger
  - The official client uses a User-Agent line of Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible;
 blah blah blah)
  - The official client sends a GUID surrounded by XML encoded braces.

 If I try text/xml and User-Agent -> Mozilla/4.0 (just that), the server
 responds but reading the socket fails, which gets us a *bit* further. But
 changing it to the exact same thing MSN sends gets me back to the same
 error.

 I can't change the GUID string without bypassing glib, so I haven't tried
 that yet.
