Auto logout in windows

Anonymous — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 17:52:35 -0000

Hi,
I compiled libyahoo2 with vs 2008 and only replace fcntl() function with the windows ioctlsocket() with the last parameter as 1 to enable nonblocking mode. However, I get the message that "server closed the socket" right after I logged in and got buddy status successfully and it automatically logs me out.

Thanks

libyahoo2 with bitlbee.org

Jim H — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:48:45 -0000

I connect to Yahoo through the im.bitlbee.org server. I use (K)ubuntu Linux (feisty and gusty) also Linux Mint and have configured the chat through the Opera browser. Since a release in November 2007 of bitlbee, I have at times not been able to connect to Yahoo. I filed a bug report with the bitlbee.org server group and finally someone mentioned that the problem could be a libyahoo2 bug. At times, I cannot connect to Yahoo at all. I try maybe 6-7 times with account on x/account off x and it will not work. This problem persist at work and at home. It happens at no particular time just every once and a while. Can someone follow-up with the Bitlbee or maybe it's an Opera browser issue. I am not a programmer but an end user who is concerned that problems like this discourage and frustrate new users in the Open Source arena. I am living with the issue but something is wrong and maybe no one is aware but should be. Thank you in advance for you help. Jim .. b727.plane@gmail.com

Service 1C (CONFINVITE), members on key 53 (not 52)

dnorgord — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 16:58:53 -0000

In libyahoo2.c, service 0x1C
(YAHOO_SERVICE_CONFADDINVITE) I was not
getting the list of conference members from the library
API.

I observed that the list of members come in on key 53,
instead of on 52. So I switched keys 52 and 53 for this
one service in yahoo_process_conference().

I also occasionally observed duplicate member names.

I temporarily worked around the problem by making a
custom copy of yahoo_process_conference() for service
0x1C. This copy swaps the keys and filters out
duplicate names.

memory leak in yahoo_process_auth_0x0b

Todor Buyukliev — Mon, 14 Feb 2005 16:43:02 -0000

the line

crypt_result = yahoo_crypt(yd->password, "$1$_2S43d5f$");

returns a memory block that is never freed. it is
allocated inside yahoo_free. should be called before
returning from yahoo_process_auth_0x0b.

Problem logging in with ids that end in a number

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Jan 2005 18:43:04 -0000

I first noticed this while using centericq, but have
also seen this same behavior on other programs that use
libyahoo2 as well (which is why I think it's a
libyahoo2 bug).

I have two ids that I use on yahoo, one ends in a
number while the other does not. I have no problem
logging in with the id that doens't end in a number,
but with the other id I do. It takes me several tries
to login and I often get disconnected.

Memory leak in yahoo_process_chat

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Jan 2005 00:38:36 -0000

When the YAHOO_SERVICE_CHATJOIN service is processed
and firstjoin is set, ext_yahoo_chat_join will be
called. But the code will never free the members YList
after this. Is that meant to be that way? In the
!firstjoin case, the list is freed...

Support for voice-enabled conferences and PMs

Paul Hampson — Mon, 30 Aug 2004 17:43:50 -0000

The attached patch is against the libyahoo2 included in
CenterICQ 4.11.0 I hope it doesn't diverge too much
from upstream.

Basically, it adds a new callback, that is triggered
whenever voice-chat is turned on, for the library user
to deal with. It seems to me that libyahoo2 shouldn't
be doing any more than that with voice-chat, since it's
a distinct protocol and a distinct set of servers, with
only the startup details linking the two.

This also attempts to address voice-enabled chat-rooms
with two extra parameters on the chat-join callback,
which are needed to connect to the chatroom's voice
session. This is untested as I discovered while doing
this that CenterICQ doesn't support chats, just PMs and
conferences.

I've successfully joined a chat session using this
patch an pY!Voice, but pY!Voice seemed to lock when
trying to access my sound system, so I haven't actually
got voice back and forth. That's out of scope though,
since I was able to _see_ the other members of the
voice-session.

I hope this helps. ^_^

I downloaded 0.7.4 and compiled it : login fails
I downloaded gaim =>login is working

gaim uses Yahoo protocol version 0x0b while libyahoo2 uses
0x0a

regards,

encryption / obfuscation ?

unlike yahoo messenger official windows build, programs
linked with libyahoo2 are subject to be sniffed using
dsniff.

yahoo.dll plugin
