I have given up on solving this one on my own, and any help would be greatly appreciated. My final goal is to implement WLM (windows live messenger) into my company's website. For the purpose I can use javascript and / or php, but I personally greatly prefer Javascript since I think it would be easier for me to debug any future errors, since I can observe the traffic.
What I fail to do is connect to the WLM XMPP service, after I have obtained all the needed info. In the documentation the only help provided at this point sounds something like "Consult your xmpp library for info on how to connect to the service". I have tried conncting using Strophe, however I do not really know if I am actually able to, since I read WLM does NOT support BOSH service ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/messengerconnect/thread/fb7af36c-aa77-4c9b-b8ab-8206427469be)? After reading that I was also left a bit clueless as to how the entire process of receiving messages is accomplished. Also in my understanding javascript would NOT let me send any http requests to another domain, which is what I am actually trying to do (from what I understand) when communicating to the XMPP service.
Although I think I understand the rest of the process - authentication, connection etc., I failed to find a way to get past the authentication point via javascript. Any suggestions / code examples would be greatly, greatly appriciated...
This ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/messengerconnect/thread/5f0d6428-5664-4c97-8d36-87dd17d3d7fa) is a forum thread in the MSN connect forums, where I have asked a few questions and gotten a few replies, in case any1 needs further info.
Have a great day all :)
WLM run no BOSH service. This means to be able to connect to WLM from Java Script with Strophe you must run your own BOSH connection manager for this. A good BOSH CM for this case is Punjab ( https://github.com/twonds/punjab ).
