I am trying to establish a XMPP connection to talk.google.com on port 5222, however I am getting a 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY response redirecting me to hangouts.google.com.
I know Google abandoned GTalk, and what I could find is really inconclusive of whether the service is actually still up and running (although not maintained), or not.
I almost gave up thinking it is just not there anymore, however last try using external client (Adium...like Pidgin but for Mac) instead of my own library (XMPP-PHP), ended up actually connecting to the server and sending messages all fine.
Is there something I'm missing?
I have found the right URL to be talk.l.google.com.
