Comment 2 for bug 579281

Hi Brian, thank you for your help.
So here goes:

#Details:
Ubuntu Lucid 32Bit
telepathy-butterfly at version 0.5.8-1ubuntu1
empathy at version 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
Proxy configured through System->Preferences->network Proxy

The university uses a non-transparent proxy server, and a cisco vpn service for W-LAN access (as do most universities in Germany).
When I filed the bug I was on a LAN connection and therefore not using a vpn client. Since Im not back at the university till monday I retested this from home, which means I had to use vpnc to connect through the university proxy.

#Description:

With Pidgin I am able to connect to my msn accout, but only if I check "Use HTTP Method" under advanced settings.
Otherwise I get the message "Access denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 1863 tunneling".
(Of the other protocols I use, Icq works, gtalk and facebook chat do not)

With Empathy msn will not connect. It also doesnt give a network error, if I check under "Accounts" it just says "Connecting..." for ever.
(Icq, gtalk and facebook chat all work. I'm assuming facebook ang gtalk work because telepathy-gabble is used instead of libpurple/telepathy-haze).

Thanks again,
Uli
