Confirmed. I ran pidgin --debug and investigated the output. The remote server runs into a problem: ---------- (15:32:26) soap: read 1390 bytes (15:32:26) soap: current HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:32:29 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 P3P:CP="BUS CUR CONo FIN IVDo ONL OUR PHY SAMo TELo" X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-MSNSERVER: BAYABCHWBB139 X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1069 ---------
Pidgin gets the -------------- <errorstring xmlns="http://www.msn.com/webservices/AddressBook";>Argument Exceeded Allowed Length DisplayName exceeded length</errorstring> -------- in return. Pidgin should make use of that string, and show a cute warning to the user. //magnus ** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Pidgin doesn't realize when the 'friendly name' is too long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
