           Summary: Kopete: MSN slow login with proxy
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: MSN Plugin
        AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: blackdragon highveldmail co za


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.4.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 6.0-RELEASE

I have seen other reports saying Kopete doesn't support proxy settings, HTTP or \
SOCKS.  As far as I can see, it doesn't, nor does it need to.  In the Konqueror \
settings for Proxy (which is the global settings for KDE!!!) there is a tab for \
SOCKS.  If you have a correctly installed socks lib (Dante and tsocks didn't work for \
me, but socks5(NEC Socks) does) then whenever Kopete tries to connect it will use \
socks.  I'm not sure if Kopete works with plain HTTP proxies, if it uses the same \
mechanisms (socket libraries) then it should.  I have also got Kopete to work with: \
runsocks kopete

My problem: Kopete takes over 2 minutes to connect to MSN.  I have run: while true; \
do netstat -p tcp; sleep 1; clear; done.  For the most part of the two minutes there \
doesn't seem to be any connections, attempted or connected and only closer to the end \
does something happen.  This corresponds to the messages Kopete prints on the consol. \
Only after a long time does it show that is trying to connect and sending messages to \
MSN.  

I have had a similar experience with IRC, the long delay before connection.  The only \
reason I can see for this is Kopete just waits a few minutes before trying to \
connect.  

I am behind a firewall and the only way out is through proxies, HTTP and SOCKS.  

Thanks for your help
David
