Description

i am on a windows network in the office and the windows version of yahoo messenger can get through the firewall by using "firewall with no proxy" setting in the preferences.

the mac official yahoo messenger client does not work at all even with the "firewall with no proxy" setting. even if they fix it...i still want to use adium...and just ichat when i do an isight videochat.

hopefully you guys can add this on.

thanks.

I'm not entirely sure what this ticket wants. Is there some functionality in the proxy support you're wanting? What does the option you want us to provide do?

There's an option in Yahoo! to connect even when i firewall is present. When this option is checked, i guess the messenger connects through an HTTP proxy provided by Y!, but i'm not certain. I have the same problem here it work - I am unable to use adium with any of my accounts. Yahoo messenger works when this option is checked, ichat works without any special settings, but adium won't work at all. none of my profiles will connect.

This document describes Yahoo's HTTP proxy server setting which I have tried in Adium and it works behind a firewall as well.

Server: http.pager.yahoo.com Port: 80

Maybe we could set an option in the Yahoo preferences which would set up this proxy setting automatically and then try and connect so that users won't have to search the web for this information?

This may no longer work at all in Adium 1.0+
